Having passed the final audit in Flint Group’s FlexoExpert certification programme, Stockport-based Contact Originators is now a FlexoExpert.

Contact Originators, a packaging origination and graphics management, was the first beta customer to participate in Flint Group’s FlexoExpert certification programme. The company is now certified for the next two years.

‘For us, it has been particularly important to optimise our processes, which included fine-tuning our equipment and production parameters within a controlled documented measurement programme,’ said Neil Jones at Contact Originators. ‘Our staff members were highly motivated to take part and found several ways to make improvements.’

The FlexoExpert programme provides plate makers with customised training from Flint Group. The programme is completed with a certificate.
