万度视频, the new independent home of KODAK FLEXCEL Solutions, is only a few weeks old, but the company is moving quickly with its strategy for continuing to drive innovation in the flexo package printing sector.

Customers, industry influencers, channel partners and 万度视频 team members from around the world are meeting at a series of Flexo Forums in the Americas, Europe and Asia to ask, 鈥淲hat鈥檚 Next?鈥� and focus on the Future of Flexo. With an agenda that covers topics ranging from sustainability requirements to print production efficiency and automation, and the technical innovations that will continue to drive the transformation of flexo into a modern, standardized manufacturing process, the three-day events are designed to harness the views of the full packaging value chain and facilitate ways to work more closely together to achieve a common goal.

Among the guest speakers to date, Philippe Roulet, of Pack & Mat Consult and former Head of Packaging Materials and Training at Nestle, has provided insight into the Brand perspective on innovation with a particular focus on flexible packaging materials and environmental considerations, while Markus Bauschulte, Technical Sales Director at Windm枚ller & H枚lscher shared the company鈥檚 views on Industry 4.0 and the future of flexo in the flexible packaging sector. A lively discussion on the needs of Global Brands and how Service Providers can best meet their needs benefitted from Christopher Horton鈥檚 and Tim Hirsch鈥檚 extensive experience growing service provider companies like SGS and Pacificolor. Leader in packaging innovation Sanjay Patel, formerly with Coca Cola, leveraged his wealth of knowledge to facilitate workshops designed to foster creativity, agility and collaboration.

Awards show reality of transformation

The Forums held in the Dominican Republic and Istanbul brought together winners of the inaugural Kodak Global Flexo Innovation Awards. Representatives of the companies responsible for the twelve winning entries, a blend of prepress specialists, printer-converters and consumer goods print buyers, received their coveted awards in a gala celebration and shared their unique stories in a series of interviews and panel discussions that focused on the value their innovations are bringing to print production operations and brand clients alike. With diverse areas of market focus from flexibles to carton and corrugated box production the innovators truly embody the theme of transformation. Clear proof that the flexo process is firmly establishing itself as the process of choice for packaging is shown by the fact that 11 of the 12 winners had proved to clients that not only can flexo equal the quality of offset and gravure printing but outperform the other processes in workflow efficiency and sustainability. All winning entries were printed with KODAK FLEXCEL NX Plates.
