BOHEMIA, NY—The focus on quality was all over and about Flexographic Technical Association’s FORUM & INFOFLEX 2024.

The four-day technical conference and exhibition took place May 5-8 in Kansas City, MO, with all segments of the flexographic supply chain represented.

“Whether it was quality in the FORUM sessions or on the INFOFLEX show floor, attendees got to experience the best of the flexographic industry,” said FORUM Chair Jason Cagle of MacDermid Graphics Solutions. “Speakers, chairs, vendors and all of those involved with this year’s event delivered on the show’s theme, ‘Your Quality Is Our Concern.’”

FORUM & INFOFLEX ensure those involved in the flexographic supply chain have the tools, education, and skills to deliver for their customers, and provide quality time to network with printers, suppliers, converters and brand owners from consumer packaging companies.

“Our conference theme and discussion topics were developed to address how flexography impacts consumers’ perception of brands. The services, packaging, and technology developed defines how the consumer perceives the freshness and quality of the products,” said FORUM 2024 Co-Chair Kariahlyn Lindsey, Accredo Packaging Inc. “The 2024 sessions were tailored to celebrate our combined efforts and experience in support of our industry.”

Aided by live audience polling and Q&As, FORUM & INFOFLEX 2024’s content focused on topics that continue to be essential to modern-day flexographic printing and cover the entire gamut of the flexographic supply chain.
