Changes to prestigious competition for the label industry: Finat announces new format for 2027
Finat, the association representing European label manufacturers, has announced significant changes to the structure of its flagship Label Competition. The new format, which will be implemented in 2027, aims to better align the competition with the dynamically changing packaging market.
The decision to restructure the competition stems from a desire to reflect the latest technological trends currently dominating the industry. The organizers emphasize that the development of digital printing and growing requirements regarding sustainability necessitate an update to the evaluation criteria for submitted entries.
The changes will cover not only the competition categories but also the method of submitting entries. The new rules are intended to better reflect modern industry practices and innovative label applications, which are increasingly serving not only informative functions but also interactive and ecological ones.
For Polish companies in the printing sector that regularly participate in international industry events, this is important information. Adapting to the new guidelines will allow Polish manufacturers to compete more effectively for prestigious awards on the European stage.
The organizers announce that detailed information regarding the new categories and regulations will be made available in the near future. The industry is closely monitoring these changes, hoping that the refreshed competition format will even better promote modern solutions in label production.
