Registration opens for FINAT Label Competition

For more than 45 years, the FINAT Label Competition has celebrated the very best in self-adhesive labels. The awards recognize outstanding achievements in design, printing, converting, and innovation. Today, it is regarded as one of the label industry’s most prestigious international competitions, showcasing the creativity, craftsmanship, and technical excellence that continue to drive the industry forward.

As the label and narrow-web converting industry continues to evolve, so too does the competition. For the 2027 edition, FINAT is introducing a number of updates designed to better reflect today’s technologies, applications, and the people behind them. The revised structure will also make the competition clearer and more intuitive for entrants and judges alike.

Participating in the FINAT Label Competition gives label printers an opportunity to benchmark their work against the highest international standards and gain recognition among industry peers. Beyond the prospect of winning an award, entering demonstrates a company’s commitment to quality, innovation, creativity, technical excellence and craftsmanship.

FINAT invites label printers worldwide, whether members or non-members, to select their finest work and submit their entries by February 12, 2027. Entrants are advised to read the updated competition guidelines carefully and familiarize themselves with the revised categories and entry procedures.

The winners will be revealed and honored on May 19, 2027 in Warsaw, Poland.
