The awards, among the most prestigious in the packaging industry, celebrate the best and brightest innovations from around the world with entries judged by a panel of 36 in- ternationally esteemed judges.

Taking top honors for Graphic Packaging were: • BelleHarvest apple cartons that are 100 percent recy- clable and produced from sustainable, renewable pa- perboard. The design provides high impact branding, great produce visibility and enhanced protection with a comfortable carrying handle for user comfort. • Boardio (with Club Coffee, Loblaws) recyclable pa- per-based can for coffee that is delivered flat to point- of-filling. Containing more than 80 percent fiber from sustainably managed forests, Boardio can replace tin cans, plastic tubs, glass jars and plastic stand-up pouches. • Boardio (with Perfetti Van Melle, Mentos Pure Fresh Gum) recyclable paperboard bottle for confectionery. The easy-to-use Boardio technology provides an 86 percent lower carbon footprint than traditional plastic alternatives and is easily recycled in established paper waste streams. • Estrella Damm rounded corner beverage pack, engi- neered for sustainability, scalability and recyclability. The design eliminates the need for plastic shrink wrap while delivering impactful on-shelf appeal. • PaperSeal high performance barrier-lined paperboard alternative to MAP, VSP and top-seal plastic trays for the food industry.
