Schawk Australia, the local arm of global prepress company Schawk, has won two top awards at the ANZFTA gala awards.
Schawk Australia and partner print firm Amcor Flexibles were recognised for graphic production and colour management contributions for clients Campbell Arnott’s and Nestlé Australia. The winning entries were part of a suite of premedia work.
“New proofing profiles were created based on precise colour matching fingerprints that reduced the number of print colours, as well as reducing overall ink coverage,” said Ryan Sharratt, operations manager for Schawk Australia.
“Schawk created 2D & 3D renders for Campbells Arnott’s and introduced new BLUE X software (a cloud-based application preferred by Schawk worldwide) for enhanced workflow and faster stakeholder training. BLUE X provides authorised personnel control and management of brands across the entire asset lifecycle,” said Sharratt.
The ANZFTA judges were impressed with the finished results and recognised the prepress expertise of Schawk Australia, coupled with the print skills of Amcor, in awarding Silver (Reverse Print) and Bronze (Surface Print) in the Wide Web Flexibles category.
The ANZFTA Awards are organised annually by the ANZFTA, a non-profit technical association of member companies who aim to improve and enhance the flexographic printing process.
