Winner of Corrugated Post-Print at Flexotech Award 2025
Our team at Smurfit Westrock Markham Vale is proud to have won the Corrugated Post-Print (E and F Flute) category at the FlexoTech Awards 2025 👏
This achievement recognises a complex and high-quality print that combined process and spot colours to deliver exceptional image clarity, rich tones and standout vibrancy. Precision was key - with near-perfect registration and careful repro choices ensuring every brand detail was reproduced with accuracy and consistency.
The judges described it as “a solid entry which made us pause to admire the detail and registration achieved on E Flute, with good repro choices to achieve image definition.”
Shaun Kay from Dearboy added: “Dearboy have worked with Smurfit Westrock Markham Vale to ensure a premium print for our premium product. We work closely in partnership to enhance shelf-ready packaging in store.”
A huge congratulations to the Markham Vale team for this well-deserved recognition and continued commitment to print excellence.
