High Quality Printing Places Convex In The Top Ten
Convex Plastics, June 20th, 2003
Convex Plastics Printing Manager, Gary Dillistone, with the Gold Medal that placed his company in the Pride in Print supreme finals for the second year running.
This year's Pride in Print Awards, held in Christchurch May 16, attracted over 1000 entries and only ten, including the gold-medal winning entry from Convex Plastics, made it to the supreme award finals.
Convex Plastics' gold-medal winning entry was from a production run of a promotional banner they manufactured and printed for Arnotts Australia. The continuous image promoting the Arnotts Snack Right line impressed the Pride in Print judges with its almost invisible bulk joins and excellent black vignette.
Convex Plastics Printing Manager, Gary Dillistone, believes the awards demonstrate Convex Plastics' continuing commitment to printing excellence.
He says, "In my opinion, Convex Plastics is one of the leading companies in Australasia in terms of quality of print in both production and technical expertise. We also have the distinct advantage of being one of only a handful of companies able to provide a consistently high quality of printing on a wide range of plastic printing materials."
Last year, Convex Plastics won a gold medal and made it into the supreme finals with a sample of lawn fertiliser packaging they manufactured and printed for Adelaide-based client, Manutec pty Ltd. The same packaging also scored them a silver medal at the Australian Flexographic Technical Association (AFTA) awards in 2001.
According to Gary Dillistone, Convex Plastics is especially pleased with the industry recognitions for their printing as all their winning entries were selections of their everyday work and not specifically produced for the competition. He says, "Everything we enter is done as a production run so that makes our work consistently high in quality."
