The Flexographic Technical Association (FTA)’s Excellence in Flexography Awards has honoured companies in the package printing and conversion industry.
The entries are individually evaluated by a panel of judges on the degree of difficulty and level of execution across gold, silver, and bronze awards.
After being honoured at the awards, the winning companies are featured in Flexo Magazine’s awards issue, promoted on the FTA’s social media channels, and displayed in the Awards Gallery at INFOFLEX exhibition convention.
