On behalf of the recent ERA Packaging and Dekorative Conference in Izmir Janoschka has been honored with the ERA Packaging Gravure Award 2015 for a premium tobacco brand packaging.

The ERA Packaging Gravure Award, this year’s ceremony took place on November 3rd, is regularly presented for outstanding printing challenges within different categories, e.g. flexible packaging, labels, shrink wrap sleeves etc. Supplying printing formes and graphic services for this project, Janoschka’s entry of JTI’s Mevius brand packaging was favored for the cartonboard class. The JTI brand Mevius, previously called Mild Seven, is the most popular brand in Japan and the number one brand in Asia. http://www.jti.com/brands/global-flagship-brands/

Printed samples were judged by a jury of print experts according to various aspects of product quality, e.g. register tone (density, gradation and colour balance), detail, evenness of print (missing dots, moiré etc.), job complexity, and absence of printing faults (such as scumming, doctor-blade lines etc.).

“Being involved in developing a new package is always exciting. Janoschka covers and accompanies the customer over the whole process from design to print consulting. It is this close collaboration with the client and also with other partners of the supply chain which ensures the expectations of the brand owner and the success of each process”, says Sven Reichwein, Global Account Manager for Japan Tobacco International.
