Grand Award, Envelopes, Multi Component

Form and Envelope Construction

The Flesh Company was the Grand Award Winner in the Envelopes, Multi Component category for its "Form and Envelope Construction" entry.

The Document is designed as a four part form with an attached envelope. All parts required live (non-Crash) numbering in various locations. Part four required jumbo numbering for the primary tag. All numbers had to be matched and verified. In addition, a pre-address mailing envelope for the completed documents would be attached as the final ply.

Judges chose this entry as winner due to its unique design and difficulty of production.

Comic Book Covers

The Flesh Company was the Grand Award Winner in the Digital Printing, Short Run category for its "Comic Book Covers" entry.

The piece featured a series of covers with varying images produced to be bound with the interior content, which is printed in black toner only. The author has individuals from Italy, Malaysia, England, New Zealand and the United States contributing work for this project. The most current is the sixth publication of ther series, so the author wanted to highlight the number six. You will notice that the issue number is 666, and then he continued the play on the number six by having six different covers.

Judges said this was a challenging piece to deliver and complimented the amount of toner coverage and color quality.

TFC Auto Service Form

Problem: The end user required a film material that could be applied directly to a laser form (not a piggyback label) and remove cleanly without leaving any residue or pulling any fibers from the laser sheet.

The Solution: We tested numerous material/adhesive combinations and were able to produce a custom material that met the end user’s requirements. The form is laser compatible; the label material is a white flexible vinyl with a low tack adhesive; printed with water-based inks with a laser imprintable topcoat.

This design was adapted from an actual production form we ran for a customer. With their permission, we created a generic form for our distributors to demonstrate this new product to their customers. This solution was manufactured by The Flesh Company and The Flesh Company label division.
