DuPont Packaging (dupont.com) invites packaging innovators to enter to win a coveted DuPont Award for Packaging Innovation. Entries will be accepted through Feb. 19, 2016 and forms are available at packagingawards.dupont.com.

"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,” says Yasmin Siddiqi, DuPont Packaging Awards leader, referring to an online site where past winners are sharing success stories. “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.”
