John Varvatos Artisan Acqua folding carton

Diamond Packaging won five awards in the 28th annual packagePRINTING Excellence Awards, the industry's only competition recognizing the highest level of printing quality and technical achievement across the full range of packaging segments – tags and labels, flexible packaging, folding cartons, and corrugated cartons. Winners were chosen from hundreds of entries submitted in over 40 different categories. Entries were judged on print quality, functionality, and secondary converting and finishing attributes.

Diamond won First Place in the “Sustainability – Folding Cartons” category for Elizabeth Arden's John Varvatos Artisan Acqua carton. The packaging features tightly registered offset printing with intricate embossing accents, creating a singular presentation that resurrects the lost art of craftsmanship but with a modern edge.

The carton was converted utilizing Clearwater Candesce® SBS paperboard and offset printed with four color process, metallic copper, teal, and brown inks, inline with Liquid Metal™ silver specialty UV coating, UV matte, and UV gloss spot coating. All paperboard components were manufactured using 100% wind energy. more
