May 21, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. Smurfit Kappa Chelmsford is now the UK’s first HD flexographic printer to be certified by ESKO, the leading global supplier of colour management and integrated solutions for the packaging industry, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

ESKO is renowned for setting the highest standards for HD flexographic printing employing around 1300 people worldwide with a reach covering Europe, Middle East and Africa, the Americas and the Asia Pacific, Japan and China.

Smurfit Kappa customer ‘Surrey-Down’ manufactures a continental quality range of duvets and pillows for the British market, and demands packaging that reflects the premium positioning of its brand.

Packaging produced by Smurfit Kappa Chelmsford, was submitted for accreditation using colour measurement and repro quality assessment against ESKO’s high-definition standard. Following the successful completion of local tests, the packaging was then submitted for final assessment and qualification by ESKO’s European excellence centre in Germany.
