Every year the New Zealand print industry goes into a tizz while we identify the best print jobs for entry into the Pride In Print Awards. For us, these awards are the Oscars.
We have a record number of entries in this year’s awards, ranging from envelopes and pack stickers to backlit panels and cookbooks. A couple of entries we’d like to highlight are:
The Laura Faire Limited Edition Cookery book
This beautiful book celebrates authentic, seasonal New Zealand recipes. It’s printed to be as environmentally-friendly as possible, using vegetable inks and paper sourced from responsibly-managed forests. When it comes to sustainability, Soar has more green credentials than any other printer in New Zealand, so we were a natural choice for Laura’s cookbook. More about the book.
Altezano Coffee labels
Boutique Auckland coffee roaster Altezano Brothers produces more than 10 different coffee products, all created from ethically-sourced, locally roasted beans. Rocket Print, a Soar company, prints Altezano’s labels in multiple SKU runs that make it cost-effective to have a different label for every type of coffee. Read a case study about these labels.
Last year we won eight gold awards, this year we have our fingers crossed for more.
Read more about the awards at the Pride In Print website.
Altezano are able to print several SKUs in a single print run with Rocket Print's digital label press.
The author wanted sustainable printing, and that's exactly what she got. Vegetable inks and all.
