Judges’ comments: “Great idea. A lot of stuff combined here. This has a self-locking wristband. That’s pretty clever.” Ward/Kraft Inc.’s patented product facilitates field triage at an accident scene and patient identification in emergency facilities. Made of synthetic material that withstands harsh outdoor conditions, the EMTag contains matching bar code and human-readable numbers on the forms, labels and ID band.

CD Envelope Mailer

Judges’ comments: “This is an innovative product.” One of Ward/Kraft Inc.’s customers needed bi-directional mailers with pockets to hold CDs. Each mailer needed to be sealed, opened, resealed and reopened. Ward/Kraft created a mailer that has a pocket for a CD, transfer tape for sealing, block-outs for security and a pre-addressed return envelope.

Grand Award Winner

Multiple Versions of Bubble Package Inserts

Judges’ comments: “If someone looks at it for the value it provides, it’s a clear winner. It’s just-in-time manufacturing.” Ward/Kraft Inc. produced packaging materials for Cole Hersee Co., which manufactures on-demand electrical switches and components. Previously, Cole Hersee ran its package inserts on a traditional offset press and stored excess materials. To avoid that, Ward/Kraft ran inserts on its Indigo 3050 digital offset press in quantities required by the Cole Hersee, which also didn’t have to pay for additional negative or plate charges.

DigeCard

Judges’ comments: “You can put it on a key ring and it keeps the company’s name in front of you. The printing quality is great.” Jerome Group designed and developed DigeCard, a customized card with key fobs for its client, Shelter Insurance. The insurance company wanted a marketing tool for its agents to give to customers as a token of appreciation. At the same time, it wanted the tool to work as a promotional item for prospects. Agents gave away the cards at client meetings, sent them with thank-you letters and used them as “leave behinds.” Users could reference the cards throughout the year and attach key fobs to key rings.
