Packaging Innovations & Empack Launches Mentor Of The Year Award Packaging Innovations & Empack has launched Packaging Mentor of the Year, a brand-new category within the Fu- ture Trailblazer Awards 2027, recognizing the individuals who are helping to develop, support and inspire the next generation of packaging professionals. Introduced as the Future Trailblazer Awards enter their fourth year, the new category acknowledges the vital role mentors play in building skills, confidence and careers across the packaging industry. Open to anyone working in or connected to the global packaging sector, the award celebrates those who share their knowledge, champion emerging talent and make a lasting difference to the peo- ple around them. Awards Celebration While the awards have traditionally celebrated the achievements of early-career professionals, Packaging Mentor of the Year recognizes the experienced individuals who help make those achievements possible. Entries will be judged by previous winners of the Fu- ture Trailblazer Awards, who will assess nominees on the impact they have had on others, their commitment to men- toring, evidence of supporting personal and professional development, and the lasting contribution they have made
to the future of the packaging industry. The winner of Packaging Mentor of the Year will be an- nounced alongside the Future Trailblazer Awards at Pack- aging Innovations & Empack on February 24, 2027 at the NEC Birmingham. Professionals can nominate themselves or a colleague by November 6, 2026. Avery Dennison Launches Active Bluetooth Low Energy Label Range Avery Dennison has launched its AD Visi product line.
