Once again this year, the association of cartonboard and folding carton manufacturers Pro Carton and the European Carton Makers Association (ECMA) have honoured the best carton packaging. We show you the winners of the European Carton Excellence Awards<\/span><\/p>\n

Carton of the year: Roku Gin<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"The Roku Gin packaging was designed by Van Genechten Packaging<\/strong> made of cardboard from Stora Enso<\/em><\/a> and won the Carton of the Year award for its aesthetic design with great printing, the quality of the finish and the way it successfully communicates the product's backstory. The six corners of the gift box symbolise the six Japanese plant extracts used to make Roku - a term meaning \u201esix\u201c in Japanese - while the embossing and floral print express traditional Japanese courtesy. The packaging guarantees both excellent visibility and protection for the product, while at the same time informing the consumer and enticing them to buy.<\/p>\n

Innovation of the year: Re-Fruiter Tray<\/h2>\n

\"\"The \u201eInnovation\u201c award <\/span>went to Snel BVs <\/i>Re-Fruiter Tray <\/i>made of cardboard from Smurfit Kappa Hoya paper and board<\/i>. This clever packaging consists of a grid-like tray that has a die-cut profile with a pattern of angled elements that are joined together to form a flexible surface. The recyclable packaging protects soft fruit during transport and eliminates the need for plastic trays and bubble wrap.<\/span><\/p>
