Esko reports the continuous success of its HD Flexo and Full HD Flexo Certification. The prepress specialist says the number of certified customers, partners and vendors grows at an ever faster pace and reached the point where brand owners can turn to industry leading flexo companies everywhere in the world to get certified quality. The stringent certification process officially states today’s highest quality in flexographic printing and has become a de facto global industry standard.
“Esko launched HD Flexo in 2009 and was the first supplier in the packaging industry to give flexo a quality stamp by a certification,” comments Jan Buchweitz, senior product manager Digital Flexo at Esko. “Since then, that number has continued to grow rapidly as the technology has been adopted eagerly by our customers. In 2013, we started to apply a similar certification process for Esko Full HD Flexo users, and the first series of Full HD Flexo certificates are currently issued.”
In order to become certified, customers submit multiple production print samples produced using Esko HD Flexo or Esko Full HD Flexo. Engineers in Esko’s Flexo R&D center then check the quality of the submissions according to published quality parameters. Once certification is granted, customers receive a certificate plus a set of promotional tools that allow them to use the Esko Certification logo. Esko HD Flexo and Esko Full HD Flexo Certifications are valid for two years, after which time recipients must recertify to ensure that the quality standard is protected. The certification program is free of charge for anyone applying.
