\u201eWe at Pro Carton are all about promoting the sustainability and benefits of cartonboard, and what better way to do that than with the European Carton Excellence Awards! Even though I only joined Pro Carton last year in October, I have been following this award ceremony for years and am always impressed by the quality of the products presented and the versatility of cartonboard packaging. I am very excited to see the creative and imaginative entries in this year's competition.\u201c<\/p>
