Mondi picks up DFTA HD Flexo award

Mondi was awarded the prize for high-definition flexo (HD Flexo) printing at last month’s ProFlex event in Stuttgart, Germany.
 
Mondi took first place in the 'Flexible Pet Food Packaging' category, one of 11 categories across flexible packaging, special flexo applications, corrugated board and labels covered in the 2011 DFTA Awards.  DFTA represents over 300 member companies in the mainly medium-sized flexographic printing industry in Germany.
 
Submitting a flexible packaging for the premium brand cat food Smilla, produced by zooplus AG, Mondi won plaudits for its attractive, high-quality print design.
 
The jury assessed the reclosable plastic bag, produced at the Mondi plant in Lindlar, North Rhine-Westphalia, based on print quality, complexity and degree of innovation.
 
Stefan Gutheil, managing director of Consumer Packaging at Mondi Group, said: ‘Thanks to the excellent quality of the high-end design and the wide range of design options, the products of our customer zooplus AG are particularly attractive at the PoS and have high recognition value.
 
‘The fact that Smilla packaging was nominated for the DFTA award shows that the high-definition printed images fulfil all expectations in terms of top-class results.’
