DuPont Packaging calls for entries to 28th Awards for Packaging Innovation

Only commercial products, technologies and processes are eligible. Entries must be commercially available in the market. Entry is free and DuPont materials are not required to be used in the packaging structure. The judging panel will consider excellence in the areas of technological advancement, responsible packaging and enhanced user experience  when assessing the entries.

Further details and forms are available at packagingawards.dupont.com. The awards will be presented at a ceremony on May 19, 2016

Yasmin Siddiqi, DuPont Packaging Awards leader, said: ‘As the industry’s longest-running, global, independently judged competition, winning a DuPont Award for Packaging Innovation can provide a breakthrough for new concepts and stimulate demand for new packaging ideas. This also is an opportunity to present innovative packaging solutions to some of the industry’s leaders in packaging during the independent judging process. The sharing, feedback and networking that come with the awards experience can be invaluable.’

DuPont has recently consolidated a number of its business units in an effort to create greater efficiency and enhanced capabilities. The DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers and DuPont Performance Polymers businesses have been consolidated, as have DuPont Protection Technologies and DuPont Building Innovations. Both consolidations will be effective from January 1, 2016. DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers manufactures an extensive portfolio of adhesive, peelable lidding and sealant resins for the packaging industry.
