Deadline To Enter Box Manufacturing Olympics Extended By One Week Be a part of history this year with the 2021 Box Manufactur- ing Olympics at SuperCorrExpo 2021. Historically in even years, TAPPI’s Corrugated Packaging Division has spon- sored the elite biennial competition for box makers known as the CorrPak Competition. In odd years, the mainstay event for AICC has always been the Packaging Design Competition. In 2021, TAPPI and AICC will unite their packaging com- petitions at the first-ever Box Manufacturing Olympics to be held at TAPPI/AICC’s SuperCorrExpo 2021, August 8-12 in Orlando, Florida. Time Is Of The Essence The deadline to enter has been extended to Friday, June 18, 2021. Take advantage of this extra time to get your entry in to compete. Entry is open to corrugated, folding carton and rigid box manufacturers worldwide who have produced commercial corrugated packaging products be- tween October 21, 2016, and June 11, 2021. All entries will be on display throughout the 2021 SuperCorrExpo event at the Orange County Convention Center. For years, the CorrPak and Packaging Design Compe- titions have showcased creative talent across the industry and around the world, from simple sophistication to cre- atively comprehensive. The Box Manufacturing Olympics is set to bring more excitement and prestige to the indus- try’s most talented teams of independent and integrated creative thinkers. Best of Industry awards will be present- ed to the winner in each category. Attendees will also have the opportunity to vote the “Attendees’ Choice” Winner.
