The creativity and application of our digital enhancement tools evolve exponentially every year, and it never ceases to amaze us.

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,” notes Scodix CEO Roy Porat.

And the winners are…

This year’s applicants displayed work that represented every continent and just about every segment of the market, including direct mail, product packaging, fine arts, and commercial printing. This contest is crafted to identify the most creative work produced, by Scodix customers using Scodix Digital Print Enhancement technology.

All of the submitted entries projected professionalism, creativity, and a superior understanding of the power and potential impact of the Scodix post-press enhancement tools. The best of the best in the four defined categories this year are:

General Commercial Printing (GCP)

First Place

Project Name: Retro Style Calendar
Company: Best Box
Country: Armenia
Background Information: The client, one of the oldest banks in Armenia, requested a calendar in retro style which specifies the bank’s historical characteristic. Scodix gave Best Box the opportunity to bring the project to life. The result was the conversion of simple paper to take on the appearance of a grooved vinyl disc.

Second Place

Project Name: Catalog Multiply SENSES
Company: Estudio Grafico 21
Country: Portugal
Background Information: This self-promotion piece was created briefly after the acquisition of Scodix machines to promote new-found capabilities. Offset printing combined with cold stamping and varnish elevate this project to a three-dimensional eye-catcher, to the delight and surprise of the firm’s industry partners. Transmitting sensations that are both visually and physically appealing, the project quickly and successfully touted the company’s new 3D digital resources.

Folding Carton / Packaging

First Place

Project Name: Mont Castle package
Company: Aakruti Digipress
Country: India

Second Place

Project Name: Stocking Packaging
Company: Saehan D&P
Country: South Korea

Background Information: The designer reinterpreted famous Korean traditional folk painting by renowned artist Shin Yun-Bok to create attractive and remarkable stocking packages. Applying a modern viewpoint, the packages not capture attention but increase the firm’s competitiveness in domestic as well as international markets.

Publishing

First Place

Project Name: ABC Children Book
Company: Redin Digi Press
Country: India
Background Information: Printed on an HP Indigo 5600 printer with Technova (E-Photo Luster) paper, this elementary teaching tool comes alive with enhanced images and text that not only captures the child’s imagination but make the experience memorable through the magic of Scodix.

Second Place

Project Name: Children Book
Company: Prime Rate
Country: Hungary
Background Information: Whoever said never judge a book by its cover never saw this cover. Produced with various Scodix enhancements, this children book cover screams “look at me!” With the cover’s dinosaur fully embossed and varnished, success is in the eye of both the parent and the child. And the fact that the client (Edition Zaubernuss of Germany) reprinted twice is further evidence its effect and buying impact simply works.

Technology

First Place

Project Name: Business Card with Foil
Company: Cards & Systems Solutions
Country: Mexico
Background Information: Business Cards represent a person’s first impression or their lasting leave-behind. Either way, their reputation is accentuated with the dazzle of Scodix digital enhancements making every card sparkle for attention.

Second Place

Project Name: Sense on Sense Pomegranate Poster
Company: Cherry Pie
Country: Russia
Background Information: The collaboration of digital printing and Scodix enhancement further enhances even the most dynamic of wall posters.
