Flexo Brands Fly High at EFIA Awards 2019

The best and the brightest in the flexographic industry have been recognised at the 2019 European Flexographic Industry Association (EFIA) Print Awards.

The ceremony, which was held at the iconic Concorde Conference Centre in Manchester, was attended by over 500 guests and hosted by Welsh comedian Rod Woodward.

The annual EFIA Print Awards bring together the best and most innovative companies from across the flexographic industry, to highlight print quality, efficiency, innovation, sustainability and technical development.

Companies that picked up awards included Contact Originators, Parkside, Hamilton Labels and Coveris. Leading the winners were DS Smith and Smurfit Kappa who both took home a haul of 13 accolades, with Interflex picking up a total of 6 awards.

EFIA Chairman, Neil Jones, of Bobst UK & Ireland, said: “It was a fantastic night and we were amazed by the number of entries we received this year. The awards aim to celebrate the dedication, talent and capabilities of those within the industry and this year the level of quality was unprecedented.”

For the third year in a row, Amcor Flexibles Cumbria, was the overall winner of the event, winning Best in Show for its Kellogg’s Extra Chocolate Muesli pack; Coveris claimed second place in the category, with DS Smith finishing third.

Supplier of the Year was handed to Sandon Global who has now successfully won the award, based on an EFIA membership vote, every year since 2015.
