Diamond Packaging won three awards in the 24th Annual FSEA Gold Leaf Awards Competition at the IADD•FSEA Odyssey, held in Schaumburg, IL. Diamond won a Gold Leaf award in the “Most Difficult Use of Foil and Embossing” category for Five Star Fragrance Company’s Pierre Cardin Choc folding carton.

The carton was converted using Iggesund Invercote G paperboard and offset printed with gold and process black inks, in-line with DiamondTouch soft touch coating and UV gloss spot coating.

Diamond won Silver Leaf and Bronze Leaf awards in the “Best Use of Foil and Embossing” and “Creative Use of Specialty UV Coatings” categories, respectively, for its 2017 corporate calendar, a promotional item given to customers and suppliers.

The butterfly-themed calendar originates from a hand-drawn watercolor. It features multi-color UV printing, UV gloss spot coating, cold foil, soft touch and emboss specialty coatings, multi-level embossing and intricate die cutting.

The calendar was converted utilizing Clearwater Candesce SBS paperboard and offset printed with four color process inks, DiamondTouch soft touch coating, DiamondEmboss coating and UV gloss spot coating.

The calendar’s recyclable shipper, which features complementary artwork, was designed to maintain the reliability of the piece during shipping and storage.

All of Diamond’s winning entries were manufactured using 100% clean, renewable wind energy and made in a Zero Manufacturing Waste to Landfill facility, said the company.
