\u201eThe German Packaging Award puts the achievements and the people behind them on the big stage. It attracts attention and reputation, motivates, rewards and provides convincing arguments with a letter and seal of approval for sales and marketing. Harvest the fruits of your labour and present your innovations and best solutions now at the German Packaging Award 2026.\u201c<\/p>\n

Independent jury and fixed criteria <\/strong><\/h2>\n

With its independent specialist jury, the dvi relies on the expertise and competence of around two dozen experts from business, research, education and the media. The jury members review all entries in person during a two-day meeting. The assessment is based on fixed, category-specific criteria, which the dvi lists transparently on the German Packaging Award website.<\/p>\n

Gold Award and award ceremony<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The winning innovations will be announced in August and publicly honoured at an awards ceremony. From among the winners, the jury can also honour particularly pioneering solutions with a Gold Award.<\/p>\n

The dvi provides all information about participation and access to the submission platform on the website packagingprice.com<\/a> and packagingaward.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
