FTA Europe, the organisation for flexographic printing associations in Europe, awarded Saica Flex for its Unicorn Smarties packaging, a special edition of Nestle´s packaging. At their 2021 Diamond Awards, the only major flexo event in Europe this year, FTA Europe celebrated the best companies in 14 different flexo print categories. Saica Flex and Nestlé’s collaboration was awarded third place in the “Flexo Print on Film, wide web” category.

After winning gold, EFIA UK pushed Saica Flex’ sample into the 2021 FTA Europe Diamond Awards.

In the words of Simon Proctor, General Manager of Saica Flex Buxton: “the team at Saica Flex Buxton is delighted to have been awarded this prestigious award, and it is testament to the hard work and experience of our wider team in having a deep understanding of the brief through to delivering a high quality finished film to our customer”.
