The Excellence in Flexography Awards is the premier awards program for the flexographic industry. It is the only competition flexographers from around the world trust to define who’s who in the package printing and converting industry.

As the longest running and most prestigious annual print competition, its mission is to honor outstanding companies who have made exceptional quality and precise consistency their mission in the pursuit of printing excellence. Each of the hundreds of entries received every year is individually evaluated by a panel of judges on its degree of difficulty and level of execution.

Award-winning prints offer proof of significant achievements in quality. And they gain worldwide recognition and coverage through a number of avenues:
