iTek Packz received fifth FTA Gold Award

iTek Packz based in Bengaluru, India, was founded in 2013 by the second generation of Wintek Flexo Prints owners Shahul Hameed, Gururaj Ballarwad, and Late PC Anand. It is now one of the leading print suppliers of self-adhesive labels and converters of printed cartons.

Its winning entry received high praise from the judges, who stated admiring the work's registration and tight tolerances and perfect registration for the second entry. 

‘Our team is immensely proud of what we have achieved. Our aim has always been to provide our customers with the best quality carton products possible. We have now received five Gold Awards and voted Best in Show, three Silver Awards, a Bronze Award, and an FTA Europe Diamond Award,’ commented iTek Packz team. ‘Our sincere thanks go to the FTA for the opportunity to enter this very prestigious competition. Also, our gratitude to the judges for their appreciation and praise of our Teesta Tea Carton Products.’

The company is a long-standing customer of Edale and has invested in an FL3 label press, an FL5 carton production line, and an in-line flat-bed die-cutter.

Darren Pickford, sales director of Edale, commented: ‘We are delighted that iTek Packz continues to receive the well-deserved recognition for its achievements in flexographic printing. These awards give industry recognition that flexographic printing directly competes with offset printing traditionally used in carton production. 

‘iTek Packz is a great example of a business that continually evolves and challenges tradition, and we are proud to be a partner on that journey. They produce highly embellished sustainable paper-based cartons using their in-line carton production capability. They can print, reverse print, foil, laminate, add holographic effects with cast and cure, coat, emboss, die-cut, waste strip, and collate on one machine in a single pass. We are proud that iTek Packz has used its Edale FL5 carton production line and FDC to produce fantastic award-winning entries.’
