With the participation of key representatives from industry, academia, and the public sector, the official press conference for the launch of the technical book “FIRST 7.0 in Spanish” was held, positioning Mexico as a leading force in the standardization and technical development of the flexographic industry in Latin America.
The event took place at the State Public Library of Jalisco “Juan José Arreola”, bringing together specialized media and industry leaders interested in strengthening the quality and competitiveness of flexographic printing.
The presentation featured the participation of José Trinidad Padilla López, Director of the Library; Eng. Rubén Masayi González Uyeda, representative of the industrial sector; Martin Maldonado, President FTA MEXICO; as well as members of FTA Mexico A.C. and Industry.
“FIRST 7.0” (Flexographic Image Reproduction Specifications & Tolerances) is a technical standard worldwide in flexographic printing, establishing precise guidelines to achieve quality, consistency, and control in image reproduction.
This edition represents a milestone, as it is the first official version in Spanish. This achievement has been made possible within the framework of collaboration with the Foundation of Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) of the United States, which granted authorization for its translation, promotion, and commercialization across Latin America, with Mexico leading this effort.
“The arrival of FIRST 7.0 in Spanish represents a fundamental step in elevating the technical level of our industry and aligning with international standards that are now essential to compete globally,” stated a representative of FTA Mexico. “This effort not only impacts companies but also strengthens talent development and collaboration with academic institutions, creating a more robust ecosystem for the growth of the sector.”
