At the 2008 Annual Meeting & Strategies Conference in New Orleans, Diamond Packaging won five awards in the 65th Annual National Paperboard Packaging Competition.
The competition, sponsored by the Paperboard Packaging Council (PPC), judges entries in 30 different categories against three criteria: internal production/converting excellence, consumer product company excellence, and end user/retailer consumer excellence. Technical achievement and innovation, craftsmanship, and overall appearance are also considered.
Competing against hundreds of entries, Diamond received one Gold Award, three Excellence Awards, and an Innovation Excellence Award. The Gold was for its ‘green-themed’ 2008 calendar, while the other awards included Coty’s new Nautica My Voyage For Her packaging, a Godiva holiday collection featuring transparent inks printed over silver foilboard, and an auto-bottom pillow pack incorporating a curved window for enhanced shelf presence.
