              for The Boston Tea Company
            
            
              At first glance a fairly
            
            
              straightforward label,
            
            
              however on closer
            
            
              scrutiny there is a lot
            
            
              to commend it as a
            
            
              category winner. The
            
            
              illustrations depict the
            
            
              olden days of tea
            
            
              trading when the cost
            
            
              of tea was only for the
            
            
              rich! The reversed out
            
            
              printing of the white
            
            
              type is excellent. The
            
            
              red lettering gives a
            
            
              subtle colour balance to the label as does
            
            
              the white area in the centre. The Boston
            
            
              Tea Company logo is prominent and
            
            
              gives the label authority. The flexo
            
            
              process has been used to produce an
            
            
              extremely good result.  The addition of a
            
            
              gloss varnish gives the label an extra
            
            
              “lift”.

              There are two components to this entry.
            
            
              The main label and a sealing strip which
            
            
              holds the measuring cup in place on the
            
            
              top of the bottle. Both are printed
            
            
              digitally. The dark background is
            
            
              relieved by a mysterious ethereal
            
            
              pattern behind the main title. The
            
            
              green of the wording and the è
            
            
              sets up a nice contrast with the
            
            
              background. The reversed out
            
            
              type is clear and legible and the
            
            
              use of a UV varnish gives the label
            
            
              protection against spillages.
