DS Smith have been awarded the Corrugated Post-Print E and F category by FlexoTech International Print & Innovation Awards 2024.
The award is for producing ‘outstanding’ flexo printing for Carlsberg 18-pack Pilsner, and the winning packaging was made in DS Smith’s site in Tampere, Finland.
The winning DS Smith packaging solution for Carlsberg 18-pack Pilsner highlighted how fibre-based corrugated cardboard can be successfully utilised for complex print and graphic design projects with a high-quality finish. The DS Smith design team demonstrated how the fibres of corrugated cardboard can be reused multiple times and therefore keep materials in use for longer, and in addition, the overall packaging solution was designed to be easy to recycle for the consumer.
Ari Viinikkala, Managing Director, DS Smith’s Packaging, Finland, said, “FlexoTech is a prestigious award. I am proud to represent a company that is successful due to its exceptional expertise in this area. This is validation of the competence and commitment of our team at DS Smith Tampere, with a proven focus on delivering pioneering packaging solutions within the circular economy.”
