CCL ROCKS AWA AWARDS

CCL’s ground-breaking Triple S was awarded for being the most innovative and sustainable Stretch Sleeve.
The submitted label for Gerolsteiner Linée is the winner in the «Best Stretch Sleeve» category.

The judges found that "[CCL] knew the limitations of this type of sleeve label, and [...] made this work well.
It demonstrates good execution with bright, vibrant and vivid design.«

The Triple S that convinced the judges was invented and printed at CCL’s plant in Völkermarkt, Austria. It is significantly lighter than standard Stretch Sleeves and therefore not only preserves resources it also saves costs by up to 50%.

Thanks to its low density it’s easily recyclable and compared to a Shrink Sleeve the carbon footprint of a Triple S is four times smaller. No wonder Gerolsteiner, a leading German mineral water producer, chose CCL as their label supplier.

The American colleagues from CCL Sioux Falls won the award for «Best Sleeve Label 2015» as well as «Heat TD Shrink Sleeve» for their outstanding decoration for Smirnoff Sours.

According to the judges «this entry is a 'sexy' label, it is innovative, exudes shelf appeal, and incorporates plenty of technology. We were particularly impressed with the cold foil, holographic aspects, which were tactile.»

The AWA Sleeve Awards were initialised to recognise extraordinary stretch and shrink innovations in the packaging industry.
