The European Carton Excellence Award, which honours distinctive packaging concepts that are already successful on the market, was presented in Poland for the first time. \u201eThe submissions clearly show the leading role of cartonboard solutions on the path to a circular economy<\/strong>\u201e, says Winfried M\u00fchling, Managing Director of Pro Carton. For some time now, the number of structural and conceptual innovations has been increasing. The main aim is to replace previous plastic solutions, whereas previous competition entries were often visually and functionally very appealing.<\/p>

\u201eThe judges look at where a pack has certain advantages or benefits, whether it be in terms of material saving, structural design, feel, merchandising and of course consumer understanding and benefit. This year we have noticed that whereas a few years ago we had a lot of entries focussing on print finishes, new printing techniques and embossing\/textures, we are now seeing more and more ingenious, clever boxes whose structures have been very carefully thought through.\u201c<\/p>

The top prizes were awarded for the best packaging made from virgin fibre and recycled cardboard and for the best entries for the three special awards: Sustainability, Innovation and Publicity Award. Four platinum and eight gold awards were also presented to outstanding packaging that some of the most exciting developments in the cartonboard market<\/strong> and showed many new ways in which cartonboard can replace less sustainable packaging.<\/p>

The \u201eFolding Carton of the Year\u201c award went to General\/Snack Tomatoes from Rutgers Printing and Packaging Solutions. The carton from Stora Enso is made from food-safe, renewable virgin fibres<\/strong> has a smooth white surface and an unbleached inside. Even after repeated use, the packaging can be easily resealed with a \u201eclick\u201c.<\/p>

The jury was delighted: \u201eThis design integrates the movement of the human hand in a natural way<\/strong> and ensures incredible user-friendliness. We liked the overall presentation, which ensures high functionality on the shelf anywhere at the POS and even at home. Airflow is structurally enhanced by the cherry tomato-shaped punched holes, which extends shelf life. And it is a one-piece construction<\/strong>. For all these reasons, we believe that this carton deserves the title \u201eCarton of the Year\u201c.\u201c<\/p>
