Graphic Arts Merit Badge adds Flexographic printing


Recommended Posts

“Scouts will now have the chance to see firsthand how flexography touches their daily lives……from chips and snack bags to labels on their condiment and vitamin bottles. What better way to learn valuable skills that can lead to rewarding careers,” said Bettylyn Krafft, Executive Director of the Phoenix Challenge Foundation.

My younger son earned Graphic Arts MB. I mentioned I had earned its precursor, Printing MB.

What you do Dad?

Well, I set type, inked the press plate, and printed the school newspaper myself. 

?? School newspaper? I used my notebook to design a new 10ft troop vinyl banner and digitally print it. Then I pressed on the grommets. 

Pretty sharp looking banner and the ink didn't come off in my hand.
