BOHEMIA, NY—Entries are now being accepted for the 2022 installments of FTA’s three industry-wide award competitions that recognize the best in flexography for achievements in printing excellence, technical innovation and sustainability efforts. 

The FTA Excellence in Flexography Awards honor extraordinary flexographic printing of exceptional quality and consistency, as well as the printers responsible for it. The deadline to enter is Jan. 11, 2022. 

The FTA Technical Innovation Award recognizes the flexographic technologies in the prepress department and on the pressroom floor that are advancing the industry. The deadline to enter is Jan. 31, 2022.

The FTA Sustainability Excellence Award is given to companies who demonstrate a commitment to and pursuit of sustainable flexographic printing. The deadline to enter is Jan. 7, 2022.

“Each of our award competitions, for decades, has recognized a specific accomplishment. But there are several traits that all their recipients have in common: resilience, determination and hard work,” said FTA Director of Education Joe Tuccitto. “We look forward to acknowledging the honorees in the 2022 competitions, in person, next year during FORUM & INFOFLEX.”

A panel unique to each award and comprised of industry professionals judges entries according to specific criteria. Winners will be announced at an Awards Banquet during FORUM & INFOFLEX 2022, held March 13-16, 2022 in Fort Worth, TX. Recipients also gain recognition for the following 12 months, through industry publicity and coverage across FTA platforms and communication channels.
