Entries are now open for the 2025 edition of the Aerosol & Dispensing Forum (ADF) Innovation Awards. Honoring creative packaging innovation in aerosol and dispensing technology packaging solutions, the ADF Innovation Awards winners will be revealed at Paris Packaging Week on January 28-29, 2025. Brands and packaging suppliers who brought products to the European or International market in 2024 are encouraged to submit their aerosol and dispensing system packaging innovations.
“Packaging is to a product what a beautiful dress or suit is to a person,” said Leopold Werdich, former Managing Director at Tubex Packaging and a member of the jury panel voting on the awards.
“It has to be high-quality and functional. It should also be recognizable as part of the brand. For example, everyone in the world recognizes a Perrier bottle—it’s familiar and has strong links to brand identity.”
Arnaud Steiner, R&D Packaging Director at Virbac and another jury panelist, notes that the critera to measure a package’s success is varied. “Protection and conservation of the product is a primary concern. But a pack must also be compliant, fit for purpose safe, traceable, easy to use, sustainable and cost-effective.
The ADF Innovation Awards are open to all, free of charge, ensuring accessibility for brands of all sizes. The judging process is conducted anonymously, without any conflicts of interest, allowing both emerging and established brands an equal opportunity based on the merit of their packaging innovations. The deadline is November 8, 2024, and winners will be announced live in a Paris Packaging Week ceremony on January 28 & 29 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
