The Envelope Please ... 2001 TLMI Awards

Of the 256 entries received from 57 converting companies (48 TLMI members and nine FINAT members), 36 companies received awards. Lee describes the 2001 crop of entries as similar to last year's in terms of quality and number, but with more specialty work beyond everyday tag and label fare. He credits this pattern as evidence of tag and label converters' continued movement into diversification—in such areas as flexible packaging, folding cartons, and specialized diecutting.
