Flint Group is again looking to celebrate best-in-class print production with its 14th Annual Print Awards for its worldwide customers. The awards celebrate the best from Flint Group’s three divisions: Flint Group Narrow Web, Flint Group Flexographic and Flint Group Digital Solutions (Xeikon).

The 2018 Awards will be announced and celebrated on the Flint Group stand at Labelexpo Americas on September 26th at 4 p.m.

Entries can be submitted by customers online for various print technologies, including:

•    Water-based flexo
•    UV flexo (both conventional & UV LED)
•    UV offset
•    Digital printing
•    UV letterpress
•    UV screen
•    Combination printing

Entries can represent a wide range of applications, including flexible packaging such as food packaging and pouches, coupons, shrink, pressure sensitive labels, cartons, yogurt lids, cut and stack, tags and tickets.

“Year on year, we are excited and amazed by the creative and inspiring results submitted,” says Antoine Fady, Flint Group’s CEO. “As a go-to-advisor for the industry, we offer an unmatched product portfolio of products and services covering all major steps of the value chain that enable our customers to achieve superior results. These awards showcase what is possible and ignite the imagination.”

The awards were first celebrated at Labelexpo Europe in 2004 when Flint Group Narrow Web was still under the XSYS Print Solutions company umbrella. Up to last year, they concentrated on Narrow Web Flexographic. They have since added Flexographic and, during the latest edition, Digital Solutions (Xeikon).

Submissions are judged by a group of internal and external industry professionals, including an industry peer who is not employed by the company, to bring an objective view to the quality of the submissions.
