Alufoil Trophy 2011 has begun its search for excellence in the European aluminium foil and flexible packaging sector and winning entries will be put on display at interpack 2011 in Duesseldorf.
The European Aluminium Foil Association (EAFA) says the awards aim to encourage the industry to show off innovative material structures which offer true consumer convenience, technical development and sustainable approaches across packaging and industrial applications.
Five categories comprise Marketing + Design; Consumer Convenience; Resource Efficiency; Product preservation; and Technical Innovation.
EAFA invites entries from packaging designers, brand owners, foil rollers, foil converters, foil container manufacturers, household foil manufacturers, retailers, and industrial solution providers; including combined entries from any of these parties. Interested consumers and consumer associations may also enter.
The deadline for entries is 29 October 2010.
