What do I need to know before I start?

Before submitting your project to the 2021 Awards program, there are a few important things to consider:

1. Does my submission meet the entry criteria?
2. Am I able to send a sample of my project to be reviewed?
3. Is my project different to others on the market?

You will need to write a high-level executive summary about your project when you submit your entry; please ensure that this is succinct, includes relevant information that’s specific to your project (avoid generalized language) and that you provide technical data and information to back up your claims.

What are the Packaging Innovation Awards?

Innovation begins with you. Since 1986, The Packaging Innovation Awards honor innovations in packaging design, materials, technology and processes across the entire packaging value chain.

We welcome brands, retailers, packaging designers, converters and technology providers around the world to enter and be recognized.

All entries are reviewed and judged by a prestigious, independent panel of international judges with experience throughout the value chain.

Excellence in one, two or the three criteria (technology advancement, responsible packaging and enhanced user experience) define the winners in the silver, gold or diamond category respectively.
