FLEXO Tech Talks Are Only for FTA Members!







The FLEXO Tech Talk Series takes FLEXO Magazine’s written articles and gives them a voice—literally. Authors are invited to expand on their writings: Go into further detail on a particular thought, expand on measurements taken during a pressrun or consumable test, provide updates since publication, offer additional evidence to support their claims, walk through complex concepts by dictating steps, or use additional charts or graphs—as well as audio and video—to illustrate a point. All of that is done in an intimate webinar setting where attendees are able to ask questions of the presenter, both during and at the completion of their discussion.

For presenters, a FLEXO Tech Talk offers the chance to bring life to an article and present findings directly to an audience of flexographic professionals who can best make use of your material. For attendees, a FLEXO Tech Talk offers the chance to have a near one-on-one interaction with an individual who is an expert in their chosen niche within the flexographic industry, getting answers to specific questions.

Here's a Sample of What You're Missing

"The FDA Label Law - Are You Aware of the Impact?"

The FDA’s changes to Nutrition Facts labeling, finalized in May 2016, are the most extensive to occur in decades. Here, leadership from sgsco, Prime Label Consultants and FLEXO Tech Talk sponsor DuPont share early observations of the FDA Nutrition Fact Panel update and its impact on shelf. The group of presenters explores a wide range of impact on nutrition facts panels, artwork and branding, as well as marketing claims.
