2023

Hosted by Pro Carton and the European Carton Makers Association (ECMA), the Awards challenge partners from across the supply chain to showcase their most innovative cartonboard packaging designs.

The Award winners benefit not only from the kudos of scooping such a high-profile industry accolade, but also from a host of benefits – Why Enter?.

Categories in the European Excellence Awards are:

• General Packaging – Virgin Fibre
• General Packaging – Recycled Fibre
• Food & Drink Packaging – Virgin Fibre
• Food & Drink Packaging – Recycled Fibre

Every entry is automatically put forward for the Carton of the Year Award, and entrants can additionally enter for a Sustainability and/or Innovation Award at no extra cost.

A prestigious panel of packaging experts representing different industry stakeholders choose each category winner by assessing each entry against rigorous criteria including graphic and structural design, production techniques, cost-efficiency, ecology, innovation and convenience.

Consumers vote for their favourite pack in the Public Award, plus a selection of Platinum and Gold Award winners.

Submissions will be accepted until 26 May 2023.
