Socoplan/Biopack, a subsidiary of the Ileos group specialising in samples and unit doses, was rewarded twice over at the 2009 edition of the Prestige Hélio awards. This award recognises printing deemed as the most advanced by professionals in Gravure Printing.

Socoplan/Biopack received a first award, the "Prestige Hélio Cosmétique" which rewards the "Azzarro Elixir For men" sample. According to Socoplan, the challenge for this printing resided in the difficulty in restoring the volumes, maintaining the balance with grey in the four-colour process, printing silver text on an OPP film.

Socoplan was also awarded with the "Super Prestige Hélio Technique", for the "Puma Urban Motion" sample, a bag that was printed using a four-colour process with the aim to achieve a perfect balance of grey and registration quality.
