*Leading Flexo Technology Suppliers Convene for Knowledge-Sharing and Live-Demo Collaboration*  
![FlexoKITE: Innovations in Flexo Technology](https://blog.apexinternational.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FlexoKITE_logo.jpg?width=300&name=FlexoKITE_logo.jpg)  
**HAPERT, the Netherlands** — Delivering a “New, Better Normal” to flexo users seeking insight into workflow mastery and print perfection is the mission of five industry leaders who’ve created **FlexoKITE**, an Experience Center where end-to-end product and procedural harmony is made practical. Packaging suppliers, brands, and retailers gain instant access to best practices in the full flexo print process via in-person demos and live webinars. Apex launched **FlexoKITE** with its partners to demonstrate state-of-the-art equipment at work — in real-time — from Experience Centers in the Netherlands and India. **FlexoKITE** runs a fully-equipped integrated workflow of the latest-version equipment from Apex International (anilox), BOBST (inline flexo press), DuPont (plate), ESKO (prepress), and MacDermid (plate).

“Knowledge, Innovation, Technology, and Exploration” (**KITE**) are the driving forces that unify these companies to deliver real-world technical content not limited to a single product area. **FlexoKITE** provides print converters and brands a comprehensive view of the entire plate-to-print process, focusing on the finished printed product. An optimum printed product is achieved through synchronizing the plate-imaging, plate-processing, anilox, and press — all under one roof, presented step-by-step, and delivered to your computer screen, or in-real-life as health regulations permit.

**What is FlexoKITE?**

It is a workshop, press floor, seminar series, and tradeshow rolled into one robust flexo user experience. **FlexoKITE** empowers you with the knowledge to soar above your workflow and equipment obstacles and deliver the best results from each category of your gear. With the full capacity of a state-of-the-art print shop in its two purpose-built Experience Centers, **FlexoKITE** empowers participants with:

- Live testing and evaluation of screening software, plate, print, and anilox methods;
- User-submitted PDF-to-plate-to-print press-runs;
- Q&A sessions;
- Detailed process and product presentations by industry experts;
- Customer-directed problem-solving workshops.

**Who benefits from FlexoKITE?**

No matter your role in flexo — prepress, wet-end, or boardroom — the **FlexoKITE** experience can streamline your procedures and capacity to new heights of efficiency and repeatability. Industry veterans and newcomers alike can experience a helicopter view of the workflow from PDF to finished print; or dive deep into specific technologies and processes and get current with the latest technologies. Whether you’re visiting live, viewing a webinar, or submitting questions, **FlexoKITE** is ideal for printers interested in:

- Streamlining integrated workflows;
- Continual improvement tactics or full-scale upgrades;
- Gravure-to-Flexo transition;
- Problem-solving best practices;
- Ink transfer stabilization;
- Concept-to-mockup packaging options.

**Where is FlexoKITE?**

Your choice: on your screen — or in-person. Two brand-new, streaming-video-equipped Experience Centers in Hapert, the Netherlands, and Nashik, India, were constructed by Apex International specifically for the **FlexoKITE** collaboration.

**When is FlexoKITE?** 

You can sign up free to virtually attend the **FlexoKITE’s** introductory FirstFlight on November 24, 2020. You’ll hear from each partner how their best-in-class expertise will help you fly higher in all areas of your workflow. Regularly scheduled webinars, Q&A solution sessions, and presentations will be livestreamed or posted for on-demand viewing.
