The Foil & Specialty Effects Association (FSEA) announces the winners of the 18th Annual FSEA Gold Leaf Awards competition. Judged on design, execution and level of difficulty, the competition consistently draws over 200 entries from around the world.

The 2010 Gold Leaf winners represented works from the United States, Canada, Finland, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, China and the UK. From foil stamping and embossing to specialty coating, film laminating, laser cutting, diecutting, cold foil application and more, the competition celebrates the quality, added value, shelf presence, security and brand recognition that these finishing processes lend to the printed sheet. The 75 gold, silver and bronze award winners in 25 different categories were recognized during the IADD-FSEA Odyssey in Nashville, TN.

Superior Foil Print Pty. Ltd. from Melbourne, Australia, was honored with the “Gold Leaf Best of Show” award. Its “Awesome Car Set” showcased a Boss 302 Mustang and an FX Holden with 7 passes of foil in exact registration superbly finished with a multi-level emboss reaching record depths.
