Flexodruk prestaties

Directeur Johan Kranenbroek van Oerlemans Plastics is trots met het behaalde resultaat: “In de aanloop naar de prijsuitreiking hadden we te maken met veel competitie met ook prachtig drukwerk. Om dan na de finale huiswaarts te keren met drie prijzen, dat is in één woord fantastisch! Veel flexodrukbedrijven hebben een afgewogen drukwerkselectie gemaakt van modellen om mee te dingen naar de felbegeerde Efta Awards. Het resultaat is geweldig voor onze vakmensen: drie prijzen op dé awards voor flexodruk prestaties in de hele Benelux!”

Wide paper size

Sister company Verpakkingsindustrie Stempher from Rijssen participated for the first time as part of the OPACKGROUP. The effort turned out great this edition with the gold for printing on wide format paper. Director Jacco Thijen was completely surprised with the award. “I really didn’t imagine beforehand that we could win. We do our very best every day for quality printing and I want to give my people at the print shop a big compliment for this result!”

Naturally, both companies in the group are extremely grateful for this great appreciation from the EFTA Benelux jury and the flexographic industry. The OPACKGROUP thanks the organization for all their efforts and the stage to be able to present these products.
