Honors & Awards

FTA’s honors and awards are among the most prestigious accolades in the flexographic industry.

Each winning individual, company, product and print is chosen by industry members—Nobody is better qualified to evaluate and weigh in on their value and importance.

Recipients are announced at the annual Awards Banquet, which takes place on the first day of FORUM; there, before a packed room of fellow flexographers, those honorees are brought to the stage and rightly recognized for their achievements and contributions to the industry.

When the newest member of the FTA Hall of Fame is announced at FORUM’s Awards Banquet, it is only he or she who is truly surprised; inductees are fixtures of the industry, staples at FTA events, regular contributors to FLEXO Magazine, constantly serving on or heading committees.
