Entries are now being accepted for the 2020 AWA International Sleeve Label Awards – the competition which, for the last five years, has annually documented the groundbreaking achievements that sleeve labeling has brought to today’s packaging industry.

Recognizing quality at all production levels

Entries will be accepted from printers/converters and brand owners/end users which demonstrate quality and originality in the design, production, and end-use of all types of sleeve label.  Judged by an international panel of industry experts, the AWA International Sleeve Label Awards feature four main categories – heat shrink TD sleeve labels;   roll-fed  MD shrink sleeves;  stretch sleeves;  and a special category recognizing a notable environmental/sustainability contribution.   At their discretion, the judges may also award a ‘best in show’ trophy.
