“As a result of an excellent response received during our past participation in the PACK EXPO Partner Program, FTA will once again support this outstanding trade show alliance as yet another opportunity to actively promote our many member benefits to package printers and communicate the organization’s diverse value proposition to the broader packaging marketplace. This partnership is a natural fit within our overall growth strategy,” said FTA president Mark Cisternino.

Yuska, president & CEO, PMMI. “It brings together a variety of associations that provide perspective from the many different industries that attend our show, on everything from technologies to regulatory issues and sustainability measures to general industry trends. The PACK EXPO Partner Pavilion is a convenient single-destination to address industry-specific challenges.”
At FTA’s exhibit, representatives will be on hand to discuss the Association’s latest resources including the industry’s best-seller, Flexographic Image Reproduction Specifications & Tolerances (FIRST) 5.0 and its robust FIRST Certification Programs.
