Pentawards - Worldwide packaging design competition - 2008

End of 2007, the prestigious Pentawards have awarded P'Référence design agency for its realisations with Sleever International, with the collectors on Lorina's lemonade range.

To boost sales of its traditional Lorina lemonade brand, Geyer has produced a 3-bottle limited edition in three different flavors (plain, lemon and violet).

The challenge was to decorate the glass bottles that are an integral feature of Lorina’s up-market positioning and maintain the traditional codes, whilst providing a fun, collectible element that would differentiate the brand. Geyer called upon the P’Référence Design Agency to customize this limited edition. P’Référence naturally turned to Sleever International, knowing its technology could meet this challenge.

With a shrink rate of over 50%, Sleever International developed sleeves whose particularly eye-catching finish called upon 6-color gravure printing. All three references are already a high-profile feature of supermarket shelves. A guaranteed collectible effect!

The jury particulary appreciated the design of the limited edition and its impact with the 3 perfumes of lemonade, using a helio engraving technology with 6 colours.

Embanews - 2007

In May, the Brazilian Embanews magazine has awarded a prestigious prize to Sleever International for the Coca-Cola Soccer Ball packaging. Last Christmas, Coca-Cola brought out two collectible bottles whose spherical shape was reminiscent of a football.

Sleever International produced the sleeve for these two collectibles whose shrink factor was over 60% offering a perfect finish. This challenge required a SI-OPS-TF / 050 film which was printed with 10-colors helio-engraving (including silver and gold).

Embanews paid tribute to the high quality of the result, both in terms of reproduction of the image and the shrinkage, the accuracy of the sleeve’s position and the decoration carried out by Decosleeve.

Embanews - 2007

In May, the Brazilian Embanews magazine has awarded a prestigious prize to Sleever International for the Bazzar packaging.

Three flavours were produced in three complex packaging shapes by high-quality sleeves made by Sleever International. The need for a perfect finish meant that a PVC film could not be used.

Sleever International thus created a perfect sleeve decorated with 8-colour helio-printing by using a SI-OPS-TF / 050 film. Decosleeve was entrusted with the positioning of the sleeve.

Embanews paid tribute to the entire operation.
