OPP Awards endorse PP film for labels
Labelling of plastic bottles with high-quality printed OPP film was firmly endorsed by the Jury for the 1994 OPPack Awards of Mobil Plastics Europe (Zoning-Latour, B-6761 Virton), in which the Gold Award went to Pepsi Cola for a label including holographic effects and one of the two Bronze Awards went to Gleneagles Spring Water. More conventional OPP packaging was recognised by a Silver Award to a printed OPP pack for a snack bar (by Israel Edible Products, Haifa), and another new market opening was signalled by the second Bronze Award going to Gyma Epice for a refill pack for spice-jars.

The Pepsi Cola label (by Parkside Flexible Packaging and Applied Holographics, for the UK bottler Britvic Soft Drinks) is reel-fed Mobil Label-Lyte film which is coated and then micrometallised, gravure-printed in eight colours and micro-embossed with holographic designs. The label for Gleneagles Spring Water – which is a product for infant feeding, incorporating a removable base cup, protecting a teat and closure – uses a cut-and-stack wrap-around label (also by Parkside) in Label-Lyte film coated on both sides with Mobil's patented anti-static Label Mate. A feature is that the label is so arranged to provide a tamper-evident seal between the bottle and base-cup.

The spice jar refill pack is a block-bottomed form-fillseal pillow pack, using a seven-colour reverse-printed double Bicor laminate (by Breger Emballages), incorporating a window to show the contents. The snack bar pack, by CLP-GAL Industries, is a surface gravure-printed, reverse cold-seal coated OPPalyte film laminated to OPP film, replacing a traditional aluminium foil laminate.
