Each year brings with it new and improved developments to the flexographic industry. Such developments are pioneered by creative problem-solvers who continually seek ways to further refine flexo’s capabilities. To encourage these problem-solvers to continue to dream up new and innovative technological advancements, the Flexographic Technical Association in co-sponsorship with Flexo Market News®, each year honors the most important technical achievement by bestowing the coveted Flexographic Technical Innovation Award. 
The Technical Innovation Award recognizes those companies that have developed new and innovative technology, modified or improved an existing one, or developed an innovative printing technique. Why not join the illustrious list of Technical Innovation Award winners and submit your entry today?
