| The finalists of the Pro Carton/ECMA Award 2012! | |||
| We can already present the finalists of the 16. Pro Carton/ECMA Awards. This year was the first time that entries were not limited to members of Pro Carton but were open to everyone in the supply chain – designers, manufacturers, the trade and brand owners. As a result, the finalists include prominent participants such as the brand "Yes. Naturally" Green Packaging (REWE) and designers such as Bandke Consulting or the Agency Bamberg. The winners will be presented on 20 September at the ECMA-Congress in Copenhagen. Do you have a favourite? | For download in print quality, please click on the photo. | ||
| This year, too, the entries made an excellent impression on the jury. The Award, which honours successful solutions already in production will thus again achieve its goal in its 16th year: to show a broad public that cartonboard is not only the most sustainable packaging material, but also highly creative and multi-faceted. Here is an overview on the finalists in eight main categories from which the winners of each category will be judged as well as the "Carton of the Year" and the Awards "Most Innovative" and "Sustainability". The images and short briefs on all the finalists are available at www.procartonecmaaward.com. Here they are:
Beauty & Cosmetics Beverages Confectionery Pharmaceuticals Shelf ready & display packaging All other food All other non food Volume market cartons
As always, the jury members represented different areas of the supply chain:
There is considerably more know-how in some of these packs than first meets the eye. Jury chairman John Parsons: "The jury was always very curious about the story behind the packaging and the product of an entry. Some of the most simple solutions as well as the more complex solutions "revealed" intricate production processes and production innovations which improve the features, processing and handling. It was a pleasure to see that innovations and new ideas on carton packaging not only came from marketing, but also from the fields of printing and production technology, as well as finishing and design of packaging material."
The award winners and finalists will again be going on tour with a roadshow to various trade fairs and events across Europe. If you are interested in having the roadshow locally, please contact us directly.
Tell us who your personal favourites are: an e-mail to mcewen@procarton.com is all you need. Three originals of the "Carton of the Year" will be drawn from all correct answers! At present, the finalists and, after 20 September, also the winners, will be documented on the website of Pro Carton/ECMA Awards (www.procartonecmaaward.com): with short videos of the jury discussions on the individual categories, with print-ready photos and comments by the jury as well as success stories. |
