Pyramid Award
Florida's Natural Juices
Florida's Natural Growers/Citrus World
Hammer Lithograph

Florida's Natural Juices are destined for food service and vending distribution only, and the labels require exceptional stability in humid conditions. The company chose Label-LyteÆreg; LS-447 film to decorate their bottles for the film's scuff resistance, low curl attributes, and lack of moisture absorption. These durable labels help preserve the brand equity of the package regardless of environmental exposure or rugged handling conditions.

Apple & Eve, Inc.

Apple & Eve decided to replace its round bottles with square containers to give its juices a premium edge. To complete the look, Adam & Eve selected ExxonMobil's Label-LyteÆreg; LS-447 OPP film. The label fits snug to the juice's square bottle and provides an excellent surface for printing eye-catching graphics, which take full advantage of the billboard effect on the front of a square bottle.
