PPC Honors Winners of the North American Paperboard Packaging Competition

"I was in awe of the judges' commitment to examining, discussing, and scoring each of the entries," said Ben Markens, President of PPC. "Their fastidiousness in considering every facet of these packages reveals the depth of their expertise and makes for a fascinating competition!"

Each of the 109 entries in the General category was first evaluated by considering the packages development objectives and the types of materials used. The judges then considered the success of each entrys structural design and how well the printing and converting processes helped achieve the stated objectives. The judges also measured the packages impact on production, manufacturing, distribution, storage, and warehousing; economics (material substitutions, line efficiency, cost reduction); brand enhancement; and marketing. Finally, the packages impact on the retail store shelf was carefully considered.
