IPE was acknowledged with 3 high recommendations at the FINAT 2012 awards

Once again FINAT, the international federation of self-adhesive label manufacturers, has awarded an acknowledgement to IPE Innovaciones Para Etiquetajes at the annual contest organised by this association.

Out of this year's 325 contestants only some of the works reached the great final and were designated "High Recommendations" as a result of their innovation, printing excellence or technology applied.  IPE obtained 3 recommendations, the first for the Holographic Sleeve which creates a coloured sparkles effect when changing the label's viewing angle. This is an innovative work as it is very complicated and unusual to create a holographic effect on a sleeve label.

The second outstanding work was the Interactive Label which by means of a camera uses image-recognition technology to conduct promotional actions, games, etc. on the consumer's Smartphone.  It attracted the jury's attention because of the use of new technologies applied to the label.

Finally, the third work acknowledged was the IRA label, which outstands for its complicated burnt-paper effect.  It requires a special die-stamp which must coincide perfectly with the printing to make it look like the label was burnt by fire.

IPE awarded at the 61st Graphic Arts Contest 2012

For yet another year, IPE Innovaciones Para Etiquetajes, S.L,  has receiveved the prize for the best printed label, at the 61st eddition of the Yearly Graphic Arts Contest, organised by the Association of Graphic Arts Industry of Catalonia.

The label awarded “Flor de Vetus” is a delicate lable for white wine which is has been printed combining different printing technologies: Offset, Screen printing and Stamping. Moreover, a tactile varnish was used to give a touch of distinction and subtlety to the label's appearance.  Lastly, to complete the printing of this complex work, a thermochronic ink was used which indicates with a change of colour, on a fine butterfly, the ideal temperature to consume the wine.  

 

This work is the best sample of what can be achieved when integrating techniques and materials as part of a label's design.  

IPE organises the 1st Art&Label Seminar: Incorporating emotions to Label designing

The 1st Art&Label seminar, organized by IPE Innovaciones Para Etiquetajes, S.L. was held the 1st of June in Barcelona and had the aim of gathering the main packaging design agencies in Spain to acquaint them with latest trends in materials and technology. 

In this first edition, the theme of the Seminar was aimed at creating emotions and sensations through the Label's design. In order to create this positive stimulus through the packaging it is necessary to know all the elements available at the time of the printing. That is why the seminar had an exclusive and prestigious group of speakers specialised in papers, inks, embossing and holography from the main European suppliers. At the end of the Seminar the attendants had a greater knowledge of how to combine these elements and make them form part of a label's design. 

The event also encouraged joint working from the start of the creation of a label's design in order to be able to incorporate these new graphic options. The result is innovation and exclusivity, as it is possible to combine the designer's knowledge as well as that of the final client and the printer. IPE Innovaciones Para Etiquetajes, S.L presented the concept  'Laboratory of ideas'.
