Clondalkin Flexible Packaging Harlingen is delighted to have won the 2015 award for Technical Innovation at the prestigious EFTA-Benelux Flexographic awards, which took place in Antwerp recently.
EFTA-Benelux (The European Flexographic Technical Association) is the leading trade association for the Flexographic printing industry in the Benelux countries of Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg. These annual awards honour the best innovations in the market and raise the profile of the flexographic printing industry as a whole.
Clondalkin Flexible Packaging Harlingen won the award for their unique FleXtreme® printing technology used to create the eye-catching packaging for the Bofrost “Suppengemüse” brand.
“FleXtreme®, which was developed here at Clondalkin Flexible Packaging Harlingen, represents a new generation in flexo printing that offers print quality comparable with gravure printing, but at a much more competitive cost level. It offers many advantages to customers including: shorter production runs, reduced lead times and excellent finished results, including very high ink and colour density.
“The packaging we produced for the Bofrost “Suppengemüse” brand was printed using only CMYK with an overall laquer to achieve a high intensity of colour and excellent quality finish. We achieved this using Sun Passion ink, minimum 54 dpcm screening and 460 line annylox rollers.
“We would like to thank Bofrost for their courage in allowing us to demonstrate this revolutionary Flexo technology and they are equally delighted. We faced tough competition from other finalists to win the award and the judges praised our team’s ‘co-operation and craftsmanship to achieve outstanding results’.”
