Six Canadian printing operations took home medals from the 2014 Excellence in Flexography Awards program presented by the Flexographic Technical Association. Gordon Graydon Memorial Secondary School of Mississauga also picked up a medal in the Student flexo competition.
Just over 100 awards were presented at the recent Flexography Technical Association (FTA) Forum & INFO*FLEX conference held in Baltimore, Maryland, during late April. The four-day event drew more than 1,800 attendees.
In total, the 102 awards were broken out into 38 bronze medals, 34 silver medals and 28 gold medals. Nearly one quarter of the awarded medals, 23 percent, went to entries in the Wide Web category, which received the highest number of submissions, but the Narrow Web category saw the largest number of medals at 27.
Among the Gold Medal winners, six flexographic printing projects were given Best of Show designation (below). The six domestic companies earning medal recognition for their work, includes:
