It was named after Henry VIII’s flagship and 6,500 two-layered laminated labels were possible only because of super-accurate latest-generation digital and process kit. The first layer was reverse printed blue and black on a digital inkjet line and then repassed for a white background. Second layer, a Fasson polypropylene opaque material with bright silver reverse, was printed with a juniper, rosemary and grapefruit background. “Impressive entry,” said judges of labels for Kakapo wine and Lanique Liqueur Spirit as well as Mary Rose Gin. “The latter was a beautiful label, simply stunning - so many processes involved, but they pulled it off.”

Hop City showed “excellent detail and use of metallic, matt and gloss for a truly eye-catching label,” said judges. This is how the printer in Midacre, West Midlands, produced the 8,000 peel-and-reveal labels for Northern Monk Brew Co: silver polypropylene gave a metallic effect on three layers, rounded off with a spot-gloss varnish on top of a matt overlaminate to make the barn-door construction stand out on the beer can.
