Alexir Packaging have become the first print company in the UK to achieve the BPIF’s 12647 Technical Compliance Certificate, showcasing themselves as a quality print provider.
Offering both lithographic and digitally printed packaging, the Alexir Partnership is a major force within the food and branded goods industries.
BPIF Consultancy Services Director, Phil Pateman, presented Alexir's Print Manager, Andy Crack, with a certificate at their Edenbridge site in Kent accompanied by programme sponsor, Kevin Purdy of Sun Chemical.
On being awarded the first certificate of its kind, Andy Crack said, "We are delighted to be the first print company to be awarded this certificate. As a carton-converter mainly in the food industry we always strive for print excellence and this programme helps to endorse our high expectations of colour management. We have all worked hard as a team - the Print and Repro Departments - and together we have achieved a great deal."
Launched in September last year, the new certificate is a level 1 standard for SMEs who seek to either promote their already high level of colour management or to put in place the steps required to progress towards a quality system.
