The Diamond First award given to Coveris for winning the Flexo Print on Paper – Narrow Web category
Global packaging provider Coveris has been presented with the Diamond First award at the inaugural FTA Diamond Flexo Awards 2016.
The FTA Diamond Flexo Awards celebrate outstanding flexographic print with entrants composed of national award winners.
Coveris’ winning entry is an eye-catching linerless label produced for Asda’s ‘The Butcher’s Selection’ Venison Steak with Basil & Garlic Butter.
