The FTA judges were particularly impressed by Itek Packz’s entries and commented on their Sliver Awards: ‘Plum Safron Moisturiser’ carton, that this printer delivered a sharp image with great ink coverage and good dots.
They commented that the ‘Plum Retinol Cream’ displays great ink coverage and sharp detail. Commenting that overall, it is a clean print.
For their bronze award for the’ Winfinith Instant Pain relief Gel pack’ judges praised their tight registration with sharp print and commented that the dots are reproduced well and there is good ink coverage.
iTek Packz comments: “We want to express our thanks for being given the opportunity to participate in the FTA Awards and acknowledge the intense competition each year from the world’s best flexographers in the packaging printing and converting industry.
Winning two Silver Awards and a Bronze Award in the Narrow Web category serves as an inspiration for us to keep pushing the boundaries of our print capabilities. We continually strive to produce superior quality cartons and improve our offering to meet market trends and changing customer needs.”
iTek Packz continues: “We also recognise our skilled print operators and our FL5 Single Pass Carton Production Line and flatbed die cutter (FDC) for their role in helping us create our award-winning entries.
Furthermore, we are committed to sustainability, and our carto production gives enhanced embellishment capabilities combining print both front and back, foiling, lamination, crease, emboss, braille, die-cut and waste stripping and collation of the final product.”
Edale’s Sales Director Darren Pickford comments: “Congratulations to iTek Packz for their unwavering commitment to providing the best solutions for their customers whilst continually striving to improve print techniques and quality.
