RollsPack has also received a Bronze Award in the US-based Flexographic Technical Association’s 2026 Excellence in Flexography Awards for The Muesli Company Instant Oats packaging.

Entered in the Wide Web, Process, Film category, the pack was recognised for the quality of the print impression and the tight registration required to produce it.

The FTA competition attracted more than 250 entries, with 43 awards presented across wide web, narrow web, mid web, corrugated and other print segments. Entries were assessed for degree of difficulty, execution and overall print quality.

The six awards extend RollsPack’s record of recognition for flexographic and gravure printing across food and consumer packaging.
