Best Screen Printing - GOLD Award
This was one of the nicest and most accurate silkscreen prints that we had ever produced. Using a 600D polyester wallet, with a smooth surface, we added a grey colour to the print, to match the exact same colour as the fabric, in order to get a sharper image, especially in the areas where the black has significant halftones. The precision of the print is very neat and clean. Everything, up to the smallest detail, the thin wording, the butterfly wing and the foxes’ face is extremely accurate and of photographic quality. The finished product was a masterpiece!

Best Imprint - Other decoration methods - GOLD Award
This bag was created using a high-quality coated white paper. In order to create a tone-on- tone effect, the bag first needed to be laminated with a mate lamination and then printed with the UV selective gloss on top of the lamination. It was important to align the pattern of the UV gloss with the logo in the center of the bag. The inside of the bag was printed with one solid colour, in orange, to give the bag a rich look.

Best Digital Imprint - GOLD Award
Described as a masterpiece for a specific program, the custom bag manufactured from recycled plastic bottles took a master's eye to deliver. The original art included fine details a tone variations that couldn't be duplicated easily on the coarse weave of the fabric. A true artist was needed to interpret the art in a way that would stay true to the original, which allowed to make the program a real success.

Best Self-Promotion - BRONZE Award
To create a buzz around the bag, we created artworks to represent many landmarks and highlights of the town of Chicago. To add a touch of originality, we had a section of the map of Chicago silkscreen on the gussets that was printed 6 gussets large, then cut down so that each bag was unique. Another original feature of this bag is the "man handle". Being very short, this handle doesn't get entangled with the longer handles like most double-handles bags will do and offers a very confortable, yet strong, carry option.

Screen Printing on Textiles - SILVER Award
Screen printing coarse and natural canvas is full of challenges, but even more so when the art incorporates four color process. Any number of variables can cause the image to blur, print out of registration or moiré, but with a craftsman's touch the client's image was duplicated with crystal clarity ans spot-on registration that will stand up to inspection under a magnifying glass too.

Alternative Printing Process - GOLD Award
This artwork was very hard to achieve in rotogravure printing for 3 reasons. The first reason was that on the original art, the focus is on the leaves, leaving rocks at the bottom blurry. The second difficulty we encountered was the coloration of those rocks, it has a light blueish tint to them so we needed to make sure the tint was there and that the rocks would not be in grayscale. Finally, the the green leaves on the artwork had a lot of details like ribs and textures in addition to various color variations. All the above have been reproduced with an accuracy that exceeded the client’s expectations. The tone variations are smooth to the eye and the details very crisp. This bag is another example of how good our registration is. To be safe, we had advised the client to put a black outline on their white text, in case of off-registration but the final product doesn’t even have a hairline of off-registration. This allowed us to print the details of the leaves with a stunning precision.

Best Digital Imprint - SILVER Award
The artwork to print was a painting from an artist containing a lot of vivid colors, patterns and complicated elements. The reproduction we did of their images is a perfect image without any blur. The details and patterns, which sometimes presented very, light color variations are output with a very high precision. The contours of the fairy’s wings are well defined and doesn’t present any blur. While off-registration is usually not an issue with sublimation, the precision of elements, especially the blacks, is very important as it tends to have a ghosting effect. The result of our sublimation is so clean that even with a 50X magnifying glass, the contours are straight. The final result is outstanding. The vividity of the sublimation really brings out the beauty of the original artwork and keeps the essence of its colourful character. The details are so well reproduced that you can even see scratches on the background which were part of the original art.

Best Screen Printing - SILVER Award
The artwork for this bag stands out mainly because of the tone-to-tone background print. That background print presented many fine characters that were reproduced to perfection. Even the finer script fonts were carefully printed to a stunning sharpness without any blur or smudging. The artwork was printed on PP Non-Woven. The concept was to have the end user’s logo on 1 side in 2 colors and their slogan on the other side. To enhance the art, the client slogan was also printed in different fonts in a tone to tone navy print. The part that make this sample stand out is the tone-to-tone background print. It gives a richness to the bag and despite opting for a low-priced bag, the client got a bag that had the look of a more upscale bag than a standard low-priced non-woven bag.

Best Self-Promotion - SILVER Award
OBJECTIVE: In Las Vegas, everything is larger than life. That’s why we came up with the idea of creating an oversize bag that would entice distributors to want to get and wear this bag. STRATEGY & EXECUTION: Being a bag manufacturer, a bag that would be attractive, offer a high quality imprint and be perfectly made would be the obvious choice for a self-promotion. RESULTS: The promotion was such a success that the name Tout un Sac! spread across the exhibition floor. The oversize bags with the big logo and company name were visible everywhere and worn by several distributors. After this convention, we have registered a 15-20% sales increase and even had a distributor ordering this bag for his own self-promotion

Alternative Printing Process - BRONZE Award
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the promotion is to create a bag which would be distributed over a period of several months by the client. A picture displaying consumer products among other things had to be reproduced exactly on the bag to promote these products. STRATEGY & EXECUTION: For this promotion, the client chose a non-woven PP bag with a laminated imprint by rotogravure. The colours on the bag had to be an exact match of the original because the artwork would be used for several promotional products and the colours had to be identical from one product to the next. RESULTS: In spite of the client’s tight deadline, the final result was so spectacular that consumers considered the bag as the master piece of the promotional program.

Best Screen Printing - BRONZE Award
This is the imprint the we are proudest of over the last year. This artwork has so many color variations that have been reproduced with a high fidel- ity. All the details and strokes from the original artwork has been rendered with such a precision that the result fully respects the graffiti essence of the original artist. The first part of the challenge was to separate the colors of the graffiti to make the silkscreen in 4 color process and have the closest reproduction possible. Once this was done, we began our tests on the cotton canvas fabric the artist had chosen. One of the first things that we noticed was that the fabric was absorbing a lot of the ink making the artwork very pale. The second problem that came to us was the texture of the canvas, which made it hard to get the fine details of the image. We found a solution to both these problems at the same time: We applied a clear coating on the cotton canvas before doing the silkscreen. Doing so allowed us to make a much flatter surface for printing but also blocked the absorption of the ink by the fabric. The last problem we encountered was a slight color shift caused by the natural yellowish color of the cotton.The final print is simply amazing, the closer you look, the more you see sharp details and strokes. The colors are very bright and the whole artwork is faithful to the original art.

Best Screen Printing - GOLD Award
While most people in the industry that use screen printing go for a 1 or 2 color simple logo, we have been faced with a much bigger challenge. Our client wanted to do laptop sleeves with the artwork of their client: an artist that specializes in graffiti. Most suppliers would have probably settled for a sublimation as the process would be much easier. However, we felt that going with a sublimation would de-nature the idea of the graffiti. Instead, we felt that screen printing would give a much brighter result and would be a lot closer to a graffito.

Printing 4 color process bags is not a new process but when dealing with licensed, full-color illustrations in the art, impeccable reproductions are a must. For this situation, alignment of the factors, fabric, precise art development and meticulous manufacturing standards, needed to be well thought out. The final sublimation decoration resulted in clear precise print with vivid colors and patterns.

Screen printing on neoprene might be the ultimate challenge. The natural characteristics of the material provide for easy to print, accurate detail, but the useful stretch could cause the imprint to crack. A two-step special application smoothed the way to delivering an almost photographic image with stunning details and durability
