Coveris achieves silver and bronze awards at FlexoStars 2022

Coveris has received a silver award in the Shrink Films other than Polyethylene category as well as a bronze award in the Non-Shrink Polyethylene Films category at the annual FlexoStars awards in Dijon, France.

The contest is organized by the French Association of Flexographic Technology (ATF Flexo) and is the only annual event in France that acknowledges the best flexographic artwork.

The silver-winning product in the Shrink Films other than Polyethylene category is a shrink sleeve printed for the yogurt brand YOP, part of the Yoplait Group. This promotional sleeve was produced for a limited edition of chocolate hazelnut-flavored yogurt. The sleeve was applied to a white 500ml PET bottle with a distinctive shape.

The bronze award-winning print in the Non-Shrink Polyethylene Films category was produced to decorate a six-liter metal beer barrel for the Adnams Ghost Ship brand. This is a PE stretch sleeve extruded at Coveris’ site in Firminy, France.

Florent Laffitte, development and methods manager at Coveris Angoulême, said: ‘We are very pleased with these two prizes, which highlight both our printing expertise and the commitment of our teams working across different facilities, from extrusion at the Firminy site to printing and conversion at our Angoulême site. It's a collective effort and we are really proud of our achievements.’
