Mark Andy Inc. has announced the achievement of its customer, Codex Ltd, who has been honored with a Silver Award in the Narrow Web category of the FTA Excellence in Flexography Awards. The FTA Excellence in Flexography Awards is the premier awards program for the flexographic industry. They were announced at the FTA FORUM & INFOFLEX 2024 event, which took place in Kansas City, MO, USA, May 5 – 8.

Established in 1988, Codex Printing House has built a legacy in creating securities and various other counterfeit-resistant documents. Since originally focusing on securities and security documents, it has expanded its expertise and technological capabilities to become a leader in specialty printing solutions across Central Europe.

Today, Codex excels as the top manufacturer of booklet labels in the region, leveraging narrow web flexo and screen-printing technologies. The addition of Mark Andy’s Digital Series HD press, a true hybrid combining elements of digital and flexo within the machine, has propelled Codex forward, allowing for product innovation. Their diverse offerings now encompass a vast array of multilayer labels, security labels, and postage stamps, all benefiting from the latest advancements in roll-to-roll technology.

Codex was recognized for its exceptional work on the Hungarian Szerencsi Chocolate Scented Postage Stamp, which received a Gold award, and the Hungarian Easter Postage Stamp, which received a Silver. Both are a display of precision and quality in narrow web printing and were produced on a Mark Andy 8-color Evolution series press.

The Hungarian Easter stamp impressed the judges with its super-fine text and tough reverses out of 4-color process. The Hungarian Szerencsi Chocolate Scented stamp was recognized for its challenging registration. Both earned accolades in the category of Narrow Web, Process, Coated Paper.

Trisha Smith, Global Marketing Manager at Mark Andy, shared, “We are proud of Codex’s achievement and honored to be a part of their journey. This recognition underscores the exceptional capabilities of our printing technology and reaffirms our commitment to delivering solutions that empower our customers to achieve their goals.”
