Busy Printing Labels for the Marmalade Awards...
What are the Marmalade Awards?
These quirky awards were founded in 2005 with the initial idea of preserving, growing and widening one of the most British of customs – making marmalade. The Awards are centred on Dalemain Mansion; a Georgian stately home lived in by the same family for over 300 years, which also happens to hold a very rich archive of Marmalade recipes.
Judged by an esteemed panel, these prestigious Awards put marmalade makers on the map, and winners can display their 'Double Gold', ‘Gold’, ‘Silver’ or ‘Bronze’ Award roundel on their jars, a huge marketing gift that declares their marmalade one of the best quality preserves in the world.
Not only do we print these stylish award labels, we also proudly sponsor the event.
Raising Money for Charity
To date the Dalemain Marmalade Awards & Festival have raised over £200,000 for Hospice at Home. In 2018 the money raised from amateur entry fees will go to charities including Hospice at Home and Marie Curie Scotland. All the proceeds from the amateur entry fees go direct to charity.
