packagePRINTING Wants Your Sustainable Entries

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—More and more products are hitting the shelves with packaging materials that use recycled materials or contained within smaller packaging. More and more consumers are becoming concerned about conserving and recycling, and as more consumer product companies are taking notice, you need to be ready to answer demands for sustainable packaging. And, many of you already have.

As the staff at packagePRINTING gets ready to kick Excellence Awards season into high gear, we want to see what you are doing to help your customers produce more environmentally friendly, sustainable packaging. This year, we are featuring a new Sustainability Category, recognizing excellence in package printing using sustainable materials. This is a great way for you to show the industry, current customers, and potential customers what role you are playing in meeting the call for sustainability.

Keep an eye out in the weeks ahead for more information on how to enter your sustainable labels, folding cartons, flexible packaging, and corrugated materials!Visit www.packageprinting.com/excellenceawards for more information or click here for a 2009 entry form.
