Embossing, foil stamping and specialty effects can raise the level of quality, added value, shelf presence, brand recognition and security for a product. These are the types of unique and eye-catching pieces the Foil & Specialty Effects Association showcases during its annual Gold Leaf Awards Competition.
The 25th Annual FSEA Gold Leaf Awards Competition award winners were honored at the 2018 FSEA•IADD Joint Conference held in Franklin, Tennessee. Nearly 300 entries were received from countries around the world, including the US, Canada, Mexico, Italy, Denmark and China. Gold, silver and bronze winners were honored in 38 categories, including those featuring UV cured coatings.
