PPC Opens Submissions for 74th Annual Folding Carton Competition
The Paperboard Packaging Council (PPC) has opened submissions for its 74th annual North American Paperboard Packaging Competition. Recognizing masterful folding carton and rigid box manufacturing, the competition will be adjudicated by a panel of packaging experts in July at PPC headquarters in Springfield, Mass. The winning packages will be revealed at PPC’s 2017 Fall Meeting in Scottsdale, Ariz.
A rigorous, standard-setting contest, PPC’s Carton Competition highlights the best paperboard packaging manufactured over the past year. In evaluating each entry, judges examine finished cartons loaded with product, carton blanks, as well as detailed write-ups that reveal customer specifications, design solutions, board type, converting techniques, and more. Judging criteria include concept and design, converting, distribution, fulfillment, retail, and end-user experience.
