Each year, the ADF Awards and the PCD PARIS Awards recognize the year's most outstanding packaging innovations on the European and/or world markets.
105 entries were submitted this year.
The winners were selected recently in Paris by two separate juries of independent experts, professionals and journalists.
It was in a studious atmosphere, with sometimes lively exchanges and debates, that all the products in competition were examined.
New gestures, opening and closing systems, waterproofing, refillability, 3D printing, hot stamping, mechanism, design, decoration, new technology, traceability, finishing, compression technology... these are the recurring terms shared and used most frequently by the members of the juries, and which enabled the following awards to be presented this year: 9 Awards and 12 certificates for the PCD Awards - 5 Awards and 4 certificates for the ADF Awards.
The winners of all the Awards will be announced at a single ceremony on Thursday January 31 at 2:30 p.m. - at the very heart of the show - in the presence of key players from the brand and packaging industries.
The official ceremony - open to all, exhibitors and visitors alike - will be chaired by Gilles Baudin, L'Oréal and FEA Chairman, and Alain Béthune, Expert Packaging and Michel Dupuis, Cojemial Conseil.
This year's winners will receive a trophy created by Digital Packaging, based on an original design by Fabien Hulin.
