Crisp dots, pristine flesh tones, images that just pop off the substrate. The 2010 Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) Excellence in Flexography Awards competition showcased flexography’s most cutting-edge work. Some 40 flexographic industry professionals volunteered their time to examine nearly 600 submissions from all across North America, and, in some cases, the globe. Two days of intense scrutiny resulted in 154 awards being distributed. Formal announcement of all winners came Sunday, May 2, at a gala awards banquet, staged at FFTA’s 2010 Annual Forum in Las Vegas, NV.
