Smurfit Kappa's innovative packaging recognised with 14 EFIA
awards
Smurfit Kappa has picked up 14 awards for its creative and
innovative packaging at the European Flexographic Industry
Innovation (EFIA) Awards.
Stand-out shelf-ready packaging solutions for brands including
Beck's, Huggies and M&S were among the submissions that caught
the judges' eyes.
On the night, Smurfit Kappa received four gold, four silver,
three bronze and three highly commended awards, further
consolidating its reputation as a leader in the packaging
industry.
The EFIA gold award was the second award in recent months for
Smurfit Kappa's pre-print liner for Beck's beer. The high
concentration of ink coverage and attention-grabbing finish on the
box provides an excellent example of how flexographic printing can
be used to bring a brand to life on the shelf.
Smurfit Kappa also received the 'Innovation Excellence' award
for a collaboration with Contact Originators on an 'extended gamut
process' print capability which reduces waste and increases
efficiency.
Commenting about the win, Clive Bowers, CEO of Smurfit Kappa UK,
said: "We are delighted to have won 14 EFIA awards demonstrating
our advanced capabilities in flexographic printing.
"The starting point for all our packaging is when we sit down
with our customers to explore all their requirements. We use this
information and our years of experience to create fit-for-purpose,
sustainable packaging."
The EFIA awards celebrate technical innovation and creativity in
flexographic printing.
