Award-winning product displayed at PackExpo and Package Design magazine
INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, Minn., Oct. 24, 2007 — IGH Solutions is proud to announce the receipt of the IMDA Award for Best In-Mold Decorated Durable Product for the manufacturing of lenticular in-mold labels applied on the Evenflo(R) Illuzion(TM) pacifier. The award-winning product displays color-changing, in-motion images on the shield and button of the pacifier. Almost imperceptible to the touch, this application of lenticular labels on a durable product represents an innovative use of lenticular.
"The lenticular decoration increases the visual appeal of this household staple. The shifting graphics on the pacifier definitely grab your attention with the natural movement of the product being used!" commented Larry Buck, Director of In-Mold Operations. "This original application adds to the versatility of the use of lenticular at the point of purchase, grabbing and retaining shoppers' attention 10-15% more than traditional printing."
The IMDA awards were presented at the 2007 International In-Mold Labeling Conference (IMLCON07) during a ceremony on October 11, 2007, in Scottsdale, AZ. The awards recognize the industry's best of In-Mold Labeled / In-Mold Decorated packaging and label designs. Winners are chosen based on creativity in design, engineering and innovation.
The award-winning Evenflo(R) Illuzion(TM) pacifier is featured in the October 2007 issue of Package Design magazine and was also displayed in the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI) Showcase of Packaging Innovation at PackExpo Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV, USA, October 15-17, 2007.
