Pro Carton/ECMA Award winners embark on European tour

Each exhibition includes the award-winning originals and finalists of the current award, as well as brochures on the award program itself with background stories on the creation of the cartons.

The 2013 Carton of the Year prize went to the Twinkle Box entry, produced by Van Genechten Angoulême using substrates from Stora Enso and Mayr-Melnhof Karton.

Cartons from the Pro Carton/ECMA Award 2013 were first seen at last year’s Labelexpo Europe, where they were exhibited in the Package Printing Workshop feature area the week after the ECMA Congress in Croatia, where the winners were announced.

The current European tour will visit: Upakovka in Moscow on January 28-31; FFI Forums in Cologne on February 5 and Stuttgart on February 11; Printcity in Hamburg on February 19-20; Packaging Innovations events in the UK on February 26-17, Switzerland on March 26-27 and Poland on April 9-10; and Interpack in Düsseldorf on May 7-15.

The entry period for the 2014 Pro Carton/ECMA award program commences on February 4, and closes on June 6. More info on the entry requirements can be found here.
