Adhering to the highest standards in platemaking technology, methods and process is part of the mission at Colortek, where producing consistently high-quality flexo plates for its national and international packaging customers is of paramount importance. As a full-service, integrated tradeshop located in Creve Coeur, MO, USA, Colortek continuously educates its employees with the best practices and procedures in the industry. For this reason, Colortek decided to participate in Flint Group’s FlexoExpert Certification Program.
Consisting of three main steps – evaluation and training, implementation, and audit – the FlexoExpert Certification Program provides the means by which platemakers can further optimize their work flow processes to make more reliable and consistent plates time and again. With the guidance of a Flint Group expert, Colortek has implemented the program and passed the final audit to earn the honor of FlexoExpert Certification of its platemaking process. In doing so, it has become the first FlexoExpert in the United States.
The certification serves as proof to its customers that the company utilizes best practices in its flexo platemaking, and therefore, customers can count on Colortek to reliably provide high-quality plates. “The FlexoExpert Certification program fits well within the scope of Colortek’s objective to align our competencies to provide the highest level of consistency and brand awareness through the products and services we provide,” states John Kelly, VP of Packaging. “The customized training and technical support from Flint Group has been outstanding, and we will continue to make use of these standards."
With its platemaking expertise and focus on service, Flint Group first introduced the program in April, 2016, and offers it globally to customers interested in gaining further education on the standardization of the flexo platemaking process.
