THE PACKMAN

Aakruti Digipress wins 2016 Scodix Design Awards

India’s Aakruti Digipress has been named as a winner in this year’s Scodix Design Awards, taking home first place in the Folding Carton/Packaging category. The converter operates an HP Indigo 5500 digital press, as well as two Scodix digital print enhancement machines.

Aakruti Digipress won for the John Distilleries Mont Castle whisky package project. Second place in the Folding Carton/Packaging category went to South Korea’s Seahan for its stocking packaging project, which featured a unique interpretation of a famous traditional Korean folk painting by renowned national artist Shin Yun-Bok. Inspired by Yun-Bok, the packaging design was a more modern take on the original painting, so that the product would stand out on shelves, both domestically and internationally.

Other category winners were Armenian company Best Box (General Commercial Printing), India’s Redin Digi Press (Publishing) and Mexico’s Cards & Systems Solutions (Technology). The number of entries to this year’s competition was almost double, and Scodix CEO Roy Porat stated: ‘The creativity and application of our digital enhancement tools evolve exponentially every year, and it never ceases to amaze us. Our annual awards simply showcase the applied wizardry, though the real winners are our user’ clients on a global scale. Our vision has been realized, as now we can proudly say that Scodix digital enhancement is now both a production necessity and a recognizable difference maker in today’s demanding marketplace.’
