Grand Prix Cyrel Awards awarded in Dresden
On 23rd April, DuPont Packaging Graphics held the presentation of prizes for the 8th Grand Prix Cyrel Awards in
the Dresdner Schloss, for which over 200 representatives from companies in Central and Northern Europe took
part. „Once again, the International Grand Prix Cyrel has proved an important milestone for the packaging industry“,
said Björn Meth, Business Director DuPont Packaging Graphics EMEA. „The contributions receiving awards at the
gala event were of impressive quality which have far surpassed the printing samples which received prizes in former
award ceremonies.“
Since 1982, the aim of the Grand Prix Cyrel competition
has been to promote the expansion of flexographic printing
within the packaging print industry. It has developed into a
top event for the entire flexographic printing industry, at which
packaging technologies and methods are presented and a
strategic exchange between packaging experts worldwide is
made possible. The prizewinners were selected from over 400
sumitted articles from the branch of flexographic print packaging
in Central and Northern Europe. Superb register accuracy, fine
highlights and beautifully-soft transitions have played a major
role in the exceptional quality of the work submitted.
The submitted flexographic print packaging was assessed
according to criteria such as design, substrate selection,
quality and degree of difficulty of reproduction and print as well as
the appearance and functionality of the printed packaging. The
quality of the printing to be assessed was so close in standard
that it proved an enormous challenge for the jury to differentiate
between them. All contributions were divided into the following
