If a single image can show what a business is all about, the cat on the gin box is the one that does just that for Victory Graphics. The attention-grabbing combination of dark black tones, a fine image and bright reverse-outs are exceptional enough, but when you consider it was produced on a 20-year-old press […]

One word sums up the approach that Krzysztof Malengowski, the owner of Polish prepress company Fleksograf studio prepress, takes to his business and to his customers: quality. It’s therefore no surprise that the word forms the foundation of the company’s logo, “When Quality Counts”, which he says, “best defines the way in which our company […]

Miraclon is announcing a new deadline for its Global Flexo Innovation Awards, allowing KODAK FLEXCEL NX users to submit their entries until March 26th, 2021, with an additional two months to finalize their submission afterwards.

In April 2020, Miraclon customer ACME Graphics opened a new flexo trade shop branch in Cape Town. With national lockdown restrictions being enforced across South Africa, it was vital for them to have operations up and running quickly, having been recognized as an essential supplier to the industry.

“We’re just trying to make flexo a little better every day,” says Roberto Dolinsky, managing director of Lorytex. There’s modesty in the comment, but there’s no doubting his pride in what the company has just achieved — a Gold Award in the inaugural Kodak Global Flexo Innovation Awards. Lorytex was also one of just four “Highest Honors” winners, singled out for creative use of graphic design, production workflow efficiency and a commitment to sustainable print.

The Westfield, Massachusetts, based labels and flexible packaging printer is now able to produce products with much greater consistency while delivering higher print quality.

Köstlin Prepress Services of Ditzingen, near Stuttgart in south-west Germany, recently added Miraclon’s KODAK FLEXCEL NX Ultra Solution to their range of flexo platemaking technologies for high quality packaging printing.

In May last year the senior management at Italian packaging prepress company Z Due travelled to Istanbul for the awards ceremony of the first Global Flexo Innovation Awards. They returned with much more than a Gold Award, because in the space of a few days the Modena-based business, along with fellow award-winner Reproflex3, from the UK, laid the foundation of a collaboration that has already yielded significant benefits to both companies.

Since it was founded in 1969 in Verona by Giulio Storace, through a combination of vision and innovation, Fotolito Veneta has grown to become one of the leading packaging businesses in Italy – though it counts Europe as its domestic market and is able to guarantee next day delivery of its flexo plates to countries such as Britain, Poland, Greece and Spain.

Miraclon today announces that the Global Flexo Innovation Awards – to honor businesses that are pioneering the transformation of the flexo industry – are open for submissions from companies wishing to be recognized for their exciting, creative and innovative commercial packaging projects printed using KODAK FLEXCEL NX Plates.
