The Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) reveals the winners of the 2023 Excellence in Flexography Awards. The award-winning prints were announced on the sidelines of Forum and InfoFlex 2023, FTA’s annual four-day technical conference and exhibition.
“Every year, I’m more and more impressed with the quality of the print in this competition,” said Excellence in Flexography Awards Committee chair Alix Guyot of Tesa Tape. “This year we really saw what’s possible when entrants optimize their pressrooms and focus on the printing. The judges continue to impress with their dedication and discussions. I encourage anyone to get involved, either through entries or judging.”
