Competing against more than 5,200 entries from printing and graphic arts firms around the world, Hammer Packaging received an Award of Recognition for Coca-Cola “Walk The Red Carpet” Academy Awards in-mold label and Certificates of Merit for Rose’s Mojito/Cocktail Infusions and Dasani bottled water cut and stack labels and Tavern on the Green balsamic vinegar pressure sensitive label.
