Van Dam Machine would like to congratulate our partners, Footprint for winning the 2022 FTA Sustainability Excellence Award for Indirect Flexography on Molded Fiber Cup.

Footprint has partnered with Van Dam using our unique FlexoCon press with patented  Flexo Direct on Rigid technology (FDoR®) results in a superior images on molded fiber cups. The FDoR® FlexoCon technology guarantees a sharply printed image on the top, middle and bottom of a round cup. Van Dam collaborated with Apex to develop conical anilox rollers, which mirror the conical angle of a cup resulting in clear print challenging high slur percentage images or soft surface products like molded fiber cups. We partnered with two ink manufacturers Sun Chemicals and Zeller+Gmelin to develop the ink for this unique technology.
