Flint Group honors packaging graduate

Flint Group has presented the K+E prize to Martina Ress from the packaging technology degree program at Stuttgart’s Print Media University.

Ress has been honoured for her bachelor thesis in which she analysed how the gloss of surfaces of corrugated cardboard printed in flexo post-print is being affected.

For almost six decades, Flint Group has presented the K+E prize to graduates of the Print Media University in Stuttgart. Over the course of this time, many more than a 100 students have been awarded, with some of the prize winners moving on to later assume leading positions within the industry.

Dr Erich Frank, head of technology management and regulatory affairs at Flint Group Packaging and Narrow Web, presented the K+E prize to Ress (pictured, left) at the end of July.

He said: ‘I feel that the printing industry and their suppliers still are an exciting combination of creativity, technology and economic environment.

‘For this, intelligent, well trained and active experts are necessary. Therefore I’m really delighted that today, I can honor a graduate for her excellent work, which makes a valuable contribution to our industry.’
