FTA opens next Excellence in Flexography Awards

Flexographic printers/converters, print buyers, suppliers, designers and students from around the world are invited to test their level of quality, achievement and technical prowess in the field of flexographic printing. Entries are broken down into eight categories: Wide Web, Mid Web, Narrow Web, Combined Corrugated, Pre-printed Linerboard, Envelope, Self-promotion and Student.

All entries must have been printed between January 1 and December 31 this calendar year. Gold, silver, bronze and Best of Show award winners in each category will be announced at the gala awards banquet held during FTA’s 2015 Annual Forum in Nashville, Tennessee on May 3.

The Excellence in Flexography Awards program, which was launched in 1960, pays tribute to the superior printing achievements by an industry continuously demonstrating gains in quality, consistency and process control, FTA said.

FTA Awards committee chair Paul Lancelle said: ‘We’re looking forward to another exciting awards competition. And, based on the feedback the committee received from our printer members, we’re pleased to report that the entry forms have been considerably simplified, making it easier than ever to get entries submitted.’

Full entry details can be found here. The final entry deadline is January 9, 2015.
