Flexo Label Advantage Group (FLAG) has awarded Xeikon its Vendor Partner of the Year award for excellence in serving label and packaging converters with digital print production solutions.

“Xeikon is known for its outstanding support for customers and the industry as a whole, and they’re a valuable vendor partner for us,” says John McKay, president and founder, FLAG. “The FLAG/Xeikon incentive program provides tremendous advantages to our membership, increasing incentives back to members based on members’ printing volume on Xeikon digital presses. It’s a true national account program. The more FLAG members we have printing on Xeikon presses, the larger the benefit for all.”

FLAG is a valuable community of independent label converters. This buyer’s group provides opportunities for its members to be more competitive in the marketplace and become stronger companies without sacrificing their independence.

Xeikon will be recognized during the FLAG Annual Meeting, an event that provides members an opportunity to network and learn from each other and partners. The meeting includes a site visit to Bollin Label Systems in Toledo, OH, USA, to see its operation in action, including the Xeikon 3500 digital self-adhesive label press.

“Working with FLAG has given us another way to support our customers,” says Donna Covannon, director, marketing, Xeikon America. “As a supplier to the FLAG community, we appreciate the partnership with FLAG in bringing to its members the benefits of being the only vendor in the industry to offer leading-edge toner and inkjet digital press solutions for wine, spirts, beverage, health and beauty, pharma, durable and industrial labels and packaging applications.”
