Submissions open for AWA Sleeve Label Awards

Entries are now being accepted for the 2023 AWA International Sleeve Label Awards – the competition that, for the last seven years, has annually documented the ground-breaking achievements that sleeve labeling has brought to today's packaging industry.

Entries will be accepted from printers/converters and brand owners/end users that demonstrate quality and originality in the design, production, and end-use of all types of sleeve label. Judged by a panel of industry experts, the AWA International Sleeve Label Awards feature four main categories – heat shrink TD sleeve labels; roll-fed MD shrink sleeves; stretch sleeves; and a special category recognizing a notable environmental/sustainability contribution. At their discretion, the judges may also award a 'best in show' trophy.

Competition sponsors AWA Alexander Watson Associates, specialist market researchers and consultants to the broad packaging and converting industries, have focused strongly on sleeve label market developments, and host the annual sleeve labeling conference, which alternates between Europe and the United States.

The winners of the AWA International Sleeve Label Awards will be presented at the AWA International Sleeve Label Conference & Exhibition 2023 on October 12 to 13 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The AWA International Sleeve Label Awards are now an annual feature of the label industry's calendar. The entries remain open until August 31.
