-10.66DS Smith celebrates success at EFIA Print Awards
DS Smith has once again won recognition for its design and innovation at the European Flexographic Industry Association (EFIA) Print Awards 2015.
A total of six honours - four in the UK and two for Germany - were awarded to the corrugated packaging and supply cycle specialist, including Gold for its work with Typhoo, Silver for Diageo and Bronze for Mondelez.
The EFIA Awards have been running since 1972 and offer participating companies the opportunity to gain recognition for excellence in flexographic print on packs produced during the previous year.
Tony Foster, UK sales and marketing director at DS Smith, said: “We enjoy this challenge every year as we continue to invest in flexographic print machines, systems, printing plates and technical expertise. Apart from producing great print, we also digitally manage colour across our production sites to ensure consistency in appearance. All aspects of ‘flexo’ continue to improve, print standards are unrecognisable compared with a few years ago”.
“These awards recognise all the hard work done by our talented teams and we are delighted to have been honoured by the European Flexographic Industry Association.”
