Rogers wins French FTA awards

Rogers Corporation’s R/bak cushion mounting materials were used on eight winning flexographic print jobs entered into competition for FlexoStar awards given out last December 2010 by the French Flexographic Technical Association (FTA).

The annual French FTA FlexoStar Award competition, now in its 26^th year, is judged by a jury of eight flexographic print specialists representing repro-houses, ink manufacturers, substrate suppliers and printers. 

R/bak cushion mounting materials earned eight FlexoStar awards in the following print categories: three awards for narrow web; two awards for flexible packaging, and three awards for post-print corrugated.

Additionally, Rogers SA 2115 product won the Super Flexo Grand Prix given by the French label printer association, UNFEA, at its Salon de L'Emballage exhibition in Paris. This marks the second year in a row that R/bak cushion mounting tapes have won the Super Flexo Grand Prix.

Rogers R/bak material has won many FlexoStar awards over the quarter century of French FTA award events,’ commented Fabien Gabert of Codipag France, the French distributor of R/bak materials based in Lyon. ‘With the increasing use of digital flexo plates, more and more printers are turning to Rogers’ compressibles because they provide the dot gain control that is critical in achieving perfect print results. Using R/bak materials, a printer has much more pressure control on high resolution print runs.’

‘We were thrilled to hear the news about the winning performance of R/bak cushions in the French FTA awards competition,’added Brenda Reynolds, Rogers’ product manager for printing. ‘With eight awards, plus the Super Flexo Grand Prix award for the second year in a row, R/bak cushion mounting materials continue to be recognized for their exceptional energy absorption and resiliency which provide consistent, high quality print results across a spectrum of applications.’
