At the recent Dscoop EMEA event, HP and Dscoop partnered to host an exclusive contest, celebrating excellence in design and print using HP Indigo, HP PageWide Web Press, or HP Scitex technology. This time around, HP moved things local. For the first time ever, there were two competitions level. PSP’s were invited to send their best work to a regional local competition, which was judged by a local jury.
Sixteen awards were presented to 13 customers and designers in multiple categories across General Commercial Printing and Labels and Packaging for interesting applications. Nearly 200 entries from more than 75 HP customers and designers were submitted to the competition.
Dars 91 in Bulgaria picked up the Folding Carton award in EMEA for its use of natural cork lamination for Gecko alcohol boxes. HP Indigo technology allowed Dars 91 to achieve an authentic reptilian texture to the packaging that echoed the Gecko branding. HP Indigo ensured that all work was finished with a high tactile varnish and gold foil. Dars 91 scored the award due to its high technical and aesthetic quality.
