The recent FPLMA Print Awards recognised excellence in the packaging industry and showcased outstanding work.

The FPLMA Print Awards were given in a wide range of categories, including flexo, gravure, labels, and digital.

“It’s important as an industry that we get together and congratulate each other, and more importantly, enjoy each other’s company,” outgoing FPLMA president, Vince Sedunary, said in his opening address at the awards event, which had more than 350 guests in attendance.

Jon Murray from the Currie Group was awarded the 2024 FPLMA Merit Award, while RollPack’s Phillip Rolls received the FPLMA’s Chairman’s Award.

Craig McCulloch from J&P Flexographics was announced the 2024 recipient of the prestigious FPLMA Hall of Fame Award.

The 2024 Apprentice of the Year was awarded to Nicholas Smith from Park Douglas Printing.  The Apprentice of the Year is targeted at final-year college apprentices nominated by their tutors.

Candidates must demonstrate they are competent to the standard they have been trained to, with high academic levels and a keen interest in printing processes. ​

As the 2024 winner, Smith will receive a trip to the US, including airfares and accommodation, attending the FFTA Forum and Print Awards on behalf of FPLMA while there.

Congratulations to all of this year’s award winners:
