Pinnacle Awards Program by PRINTING United Alliance
Open to all PRINTING United Alliance corporate supplier members, the Pinnacle Awards competition evaluates products that will be available for sale in 2025. A highly qualified panel of judges across the printing industry evaluated the annual contest’s 150+ entries in more than 50 categories spanning analog, digital, output, and non-output technologies.
Key Highlights About the Award-Winning Product
Award Category: Non-Output – Laminates, Adhesives, Films, Coatings
Product/Technology: StrataFlex™ Thermal Pre-Lams
Technology Impact: StrataFlex Thermal Pre-Lams are METPET pre-lams that include a thermal adhesive layer, enabling converters to reverse print on a film instead of the pre-lam surface. This change significantly increases efficiency for thermal converters by reducing material changeovers on the press and improving print quality for thermal packaging.
“We are thrilled to see our StrataFlex Thermal Pre-Lams recognized by PRINTING United,” says Angie Mohni, VP of Marketing at Nobelus. “These products enable thermal converters to make the most of their largest equipment investment: the press. There’s currently nothing else like them on the market, so we are excited to give our customers an innovative way to increase operational efficiency and offer higher quality packaging to brands.”

“A special note of congratulations to Nobelus and all those honored this year for their outstanding work in the 2025 Pinnacle Awards Program,” said Lindsay Ferrari, Program Administrator, PRINTING United Alliance. “Each Pinnacle Award recipient reflects the bold thinking and technical excellence that continues to elevate and move our industry forward.”
