Clondalkin Flexible Packaging Harlingen is delighted to have won the 2015 award for Innovation at the prestigious DFTA awards, which took place in Stuttgart on 5th March 2015.
The German Flexography Association, the DFTA, has one of the largest memberships of any association within the Flexographic printing sector. Its annual awards recognise outstanding print quality, performance and innovation and are one of the most coveted international honours within the industry.
Clondalkin Flexible Packaging Harlingen (CFP Harlingen) is part of the Clondalkin Group of companies, which produces innovative packaging solutions for brands throughout the world.
CFP Harlingen won the award for its unique FleXtreme printing technology used to create the eye-catching bag for the Bofrost “Frühlingsrolle Chicken Curry” brand.
Sales and Marketing Director, Jack van der Heiden, from CFP Harlingen, comments: “We are delighted to have won this award in recognition of the excellent results we achieved for our client, Bofrost. FleXtreme represents a new generation in flexo printing that offers print quality comparable with gravure printing.
“Working in partnership with printing plate manfacturers, Team WKA (Warburger Kliché Anstalt), we produced and printed the packaging using only CMYK and an overall laquer to achieve a high intensity of colour and excellent quality finish. We achieved this using Sun Passion ink, minimum 54 dpcm screening and 460 line annylox rollers.
“We would like to thank Bofrost for their courage in allowing us to demonstrate this revolutionary Flexo technology and they are equally delighted with the results.”
CFP Harlingen faced competition from another six finalists to win the award. The judges praised the team’s “Co-operation and craftsmenship to achieve outstanding results, where less is definitely more”.
Collecting the award on the night were: Peter Hoogendam (Senior Sales Manager) and Joop Wiersma (Graphic Expert) from CFP Harlingen; Udo Linke (General Manager) of WKA and Günther Krause (Packaging Manager) from Bofrost GmbH – Straelen.
