'Pickle-Scented Shrek' Project Wins Top Honors

Concord Litho Wins 3 Awards in Regional Awards of Excellence Print Competition  

Concord Litho took home three prizes at the annual Printing Industries of New England Awards of Excellence ceremony, including a crystal Pinnacle for a kids Valentine’s Day card project featuring the DreamWorks character Shrek, who – thanks to a clear coat of scented varnish – smells like dill pickles.

Produced for Paper Magic Group, the Shrek project won top honors in the largest division for the Special Finishing – Inks, Coatings and Fragrances category; it was produced on one of Concord Litho’s five heat-set web presses, and features dill pickle Rub ‘N Smell scented varnish. The awards ceremony was held November 6 in Framingham, Massachusetts.

Concord Litho, which has annual sales of $43 million, also won two Awards of Merit in the Cards category for Division IV: another card in the Paper Magic Group Valentines series that featured characters from “The Bee Movie” and honeycomb scented varnish, and an eco-friendly project produced on Concord Litho’s large-format KBA sheetfed press for a local greeting card company.
