Special Applications/Processes 2024 Pyramid Awards | Supplier Decorating | Must Read GOLD WINNER BAG MAKERS PPAI 111408, Platinum Union, Illinois Working with the distributor CNA Advertising, BAG MAKERS created bags for the annual SugarPlum Market outside of Houston. The shopping bags have become a beloved souvenir among attendees at the holiday market, which draws 100-plus vendors from across Texas. It’s no surprise, then, that there was an element of pressure in delivering the products. The front of the bag featured a sparkle imprint of the event theme, incorporating five glossy holographic dot colors. It also featured ColorVista imprints of snowflakes in the gussets and sponsor logos on the back. The event attracted 6,000 shoppers and raised more than $350,000 for charity. SILVER WINNER Stouse PPAI 113066, Platinum New Century, Kansas Fort Worth, Texas-based Fort Brewery wanted a set of six distinct beer can labels for the release of its latest batch of brews. The labels were to be themed around Fort Worth historical events with the hopes of generating excitement among community customers. Strouse went with Drink N Peel Labels, which give customers a removable sticker with each can of beer. Upon receiving the art, the supplier printed and married two layers of biaxially oriented polypropylene (aka BOPP) material together with a silicone layer in between and finished the labels using laser cutting equipment.
