CHENNAI – JUNE 25, 2008
Leiden, The Netherlands - Vox Artes Gráficas is certainly one of Portugal's leading label converters. For the label industry, it is a relatively large company, with around 118 employees currently housed in a 7000m2 facility in Vila Nova de Gaia, near Porto. What distinguishes Vox, however, is its specialism in labels for wines and, of course, port – a market where quality and service are key factors, and print runs usually small. Vox meets these criteria with a series of innovative, 'best practice' solutions that aptly demonstrate how focusing on one particular market niche, and doing it well, can represent a highly-successful business model today in the packaging industry.
Leiden, The Netherlands - Avery Dennison has provided Posten AB, Sweden’s national postal carrier, with an innovative Fasson self-adhesive solution to a major postage stamp authentication challenge. Posten AB is a dynamic, technologically advanced supplier of mail, communication and logistics services, and its security printing division, Sweden Post Stamps, has an international reputation for high-quality print results, with high-security features. As well as traditional gummed and perforated stamp products, Posten AB also issues self-adhesive stamps. To print these on Sweden Post Stamps' sophisticated intaglio machines would entail a costly extra press pass for the necessary overt security feature of a backing paper imprint. It made sense, therefore, to look for an alternative leading-edge authentication device for the self-adhesive stamps that would make it possible to continue printing them on a multicolour offset press, but with the added advantage of a special 'high tech' security feature to foil the efforts of the counterfeiters.
