M-real’s customer magazine M-real Magazine has won gold in the ‘Best Overall Design, B-to-B’ category in Folio Magazine’s Eddies and Ozzies Awards. The international Folio Awards are the magazine industry’s largest
competition, celebrating the best in both editorial quality and design and visual standards. The 2010 category winners were announced in New York on January 25, 2011.

“The M-real team and publishing house Otavamedia Kynämies have done an excellent job. M-real Magazine is a publication that stands out and is highly appreciated by our customers,” says Juha Laine, editor-in-chief, VP investor
relations and communications of M-real Corporation. “The winning issue’s theme was design. A lot of thought went into making it, but even so, winning gold was a very positive surprise.”

“This issue is a great example of what can be achieved with our products, particularly with regard to speciality papers from M-real Zanders. The cover’s Chromolux, the luxurious cast-coated paper, and the text pages’ coated paper, Medley plus, and transparent paper, Spectral, demonstrate how our papers can add impact and provide inspiration for many creative design areas,” explains Laine.

The 2010 awards drew more than 2,000 entries, which were judged by an international panel of 100 experts.
