7 Nordic finalists at the FlexoTech Awards
Oh’ what a year! There have been many different waves this year, but flexo packaging printing still continues to be strong. Printed paper, plastics, corrugated and so on; There is a great need for high quality printing. Achieving a perfect print result means seamless collaboration between the stakeholders and requires a lot of experience. The competition is getting tougher from year to year and the average quality level is increasing continuously. As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult to reach finals and even get prizes in printing competitions.
Choosing a winning print is hard work. Very often the perfect print slips away from the hands; it was slit, converted and delivered before we could even collect enough print samples for the upcoming printing competitions. Even collecting of the samples from the process requires special care and, finally, the print has to be printed carefully, in perfect register and in a controlled manner.
Proof of the close cooperation between Marvaco and its printer partners is the continuously improving trend of becoming nominated finalist and being awarded in international printing competitions. There has been a remarkable continuous history of FlexoTech Awards nominations in 2004, 2007, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and now even 2021 to celebrate the success of our printer partners. Based on this experience, we can conclude that the practice makes better; this year we even had the largest number of printed works with our printing partners at the FlexoTech Awards finals.
How this all was possible? Well, it’s hard work and teamwork that no one could do alone! Persistently everyone in the supply chain has tried and learned from the past; The collaboration includes all stakeholders through brand owners, DTP, plate making, mounting, printing and converting. The inks, aniloxes, plates, mounting tapes, maintenance – every detail has been perfected to achieve the optimal result and maximum production efficiency. A common factor can be seen in our finalist jobs; these are all process printed jobs, in which only a few are printed with a spot color. This has been a continuing trend among Nordic printers, and the local high-quality competition has even led to increased use of Expanded Gamut Printing (EGPTM). This development has also led to better sustainability and improved productivity!
