BOHEMIA, NY — The Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) has launched Flexo Fundamentals, a new on-demand training course designed for professionals who work with flexographic printing but don’t operate in the pressroom.

Flexographic printing powers nearly half of the world’s packaging, yet many professionals who interact with it daily have never seen a press in action. Flexo Fundamentals bridges that gap by turning technical complexity into clear, accessible knowledge. The course empowers learners to communicate confidently with clients, vendors, and production teams—without needing a technical background.

“We developed Flexo Fundamentals to help professionals feel confident talking about flexography,” said Kenny Tucker, FTA’s director of technical education. “By understanding how flexographic printing works, non-production team members can make better decisions, build stronger client relationships, and reduce costly miscommunications.” Flexo Fundamentals is ideal for professionals in sales, marketing, design, procurement, and customer service – or anyone new to flexography. 

 

Practical Foundation

Through engaging visuals, real-world examples, and interactive tools, Flexo Fundamentals provides a clear overview of:

• What flexographic printing is and why it’s essential to packaging production

• How inks, plates, anilox rollers, and substrates work together

• The workflow from artwork to press to finished product

• Where flexography fits best across applications and industries

• How sustainability is driving innovation in flexo

Each module is concise and approachable—designed to fit into a busy schedule while delivering insights that immediately apply on the job.

The self-paced, online course includes multiple modules, a final assessment, and a Certificate of Completion.
