MCC Napa Digital Wins 1 Place and Receives a Special Judges Award at the 2025 FINAT Awards

MCC America Wines was awarded first place, joint winner in the Marketing/End Uses Group for its Astraeus Single Malt. This label produced in Napa Digital, was commended by the judges for its precise embossing and the exceptional prepress skill that was required to produce this label. The judges described the label accurately by saying, “it really is a work of art.” The label qualified for the Group award by earning first place in the Marketing/End Uses category for Beer and Spirits.

The Astraeus Single Malt also received a Special Judges Award as a nod to its outstanding craftsmanship and the very minor differences between it and the FINAT Best in Show winning label.

Napa was not the only MCC award winner. MCC Australia received recognition in the Wine category, MCC Paarl, South Africa received recognition for Flexography printing, and MCC Italy won an award for Combination Printing.

Receiving these highly coveted awards continues the MCC Napa tradition of being recognized for printing excellence by FINAT! The FINAT competition is the European equivalent to TLMI, and both are considered to be the highest award honors to win. By winning this 1st place award, the Napa team has a shot at winning a L9 World Label Award at the next Label Expo in September 2025.

Label Perfection: Napa Plant Honored for Wine & Spirits Excellence

The TLMI Printing Excellence Awards celebrate outstanding printing and converting achievements in the North American Label and Packaging Industry. This program creates a visible connection between labels produced daily on press and label award-winning submissions.

At the 2024 Awards in October, three labels printed at our Napa, California pant were recognized in the “Wine & Spirits – All, including neck label” category:

💫 Don Gato Tequila Blanco took first place in ‘Spirits’
💫 Castello di Amorosa – Serata took first place in ‘Wine’
💫 19 Crimes Cali Rose Gold took second place in ‘Wine’

The awards recently arrived at our Napa plant. 🏆 Kudos to those involved in the creation and printing of these labels! 🎉

How is your product packaged?

💦 Glass bottles may work best for paper labels with water-based adhesives
♻️ Plastic containers may require plastic containers to ensure compatibility with recycling
🍶 Common container materials include HDPE, PP and glass

Label Tip: The label may be small, but it has a significant impact on the sustainability of your packaging! We can provide solutions to ensure label and container compatibility, no matter the material.
