BOBST’s D’Annunzio Receives 2020 R. Stanton Avery Global Achievement Award
Sponsored by Avery Dennison, the R. Stanton Avery Global Achievement Award recognizes an innovation or idea that has helped transform and progress the label industry across the world.
Federico D’Annunzio of BOBST Group has been chosen as the recipient of the R. Stanton Avery Global Achievement Award 2020. Sponsored by Avery Dennison, the R. Stanton Avery Global Achievement Award recognizes an innovation or idea that has helped transform and progress the label industry across the world. Bestowed in memory of Stan Avery’s pioneering spirit and values, the award reflects the global nature of the industry and recognizes the collective contributions of the many, as well as individuals. This is one of five Label Industry Global Awards categories.
D’Annunzio has reportedly been a passionate advocate of the digitization of the conventional label printing process. He joined the label industry at a time when 2-3 hrs were required to change jobs, and the operator was the master of quality. Today, with a combination of innovations that D’Annunzio has led, a complete job changeover takes around 1 min. Quality control is fully digitalized with a closed-loop system monitoring pressure, register, and color, all independent of the operator’s skill set.
