Fourth round of Pyro Inspirations Awards

The fourth round of the Pyro Inspirations Awards recently held in Cape Town has announced its winners. Purina's Fancy Feast gourmet cat food was voted as the winner in the Promotional category. The winner in the Informational category was Caivil Hair Relaxant for its illustrated and informative Fix-a-Form leaflet-label.

Purina made use of Pyrotec PackMedia Fix-a-Form leaflet-label to provide extended details for a promotional competition it was running. The judges reportedly commended Purina on its attractive design, user-friendly and interactive label. They were also impressed by the leaflet-label's inclusion of "9 Tips to Indulge your Cat", which they felt would be adored by cat-owners.

The Ice Age promotional campaign came a close second for its unique, fun concept and the clear, concise information it provided.
