Topeka, Kansas — The Foil & Specialty Effects Association (FSEA) invites companies in the finishing, printing, folding carton, greeting card and binding industries to submit their best work to the 26th Annual FSEA Gold Leaf Awards Competition.

“The print finishing industry is performing spectacular work each and every day on greeting cards, presentation folders, labels, invitations, folding cartons, packaging boxes and much more,” said FSEA Executive Director Jeff Peterson. “The FSEA Gold Leaf Awards program grows every year as entries are submitted from around the world by finishers and binders that want to compete against the best in the industry.”

New technologies have fueled growth, too, with expanded award categories in areas such as digital foil and other specialty UV coatings. Entries will be judged on design, execution and level of difficulty in more than 25 categories, with a gold, silver and bronze award presented in each category.

A “Best of Show” award will be selected from among all of the Gold Award winners. All winning companies will be announced, with their winning entry displayed, at an awards reception during the 2019 Odyssey Expo, to be held May 1-3, 2019, in Atlanta, Georgia. Competition winners also will be highlighted in promotional campaigns, PostPressmagazine and other trade publications, on the FSEA website and at industry events throughout 2019.
