Paris Packaging Week announced the finalists for its ADF Innovation Awards, which recognize the most innovative and outstanding packaging of the previous year in areas such as beauty, luxury, premium beverages and aerosols.

The results of the winners will be announced during the event’s ceremonies, which will be held on January 17 and 18. In addition, those attending Paris Packaging Week will be able to admire and gain insights from the finalists in a special gallery dedicated to the Innovation Awards.

A panel of international experts, representing major brand owners in the aerosol, beauty and beverage industries, conducted a three-day evaluation in December to select the finalists from more than 220 entries from around the world.

“Each year, our Innovation Awards highlight innovation and creativity in the packaging community, and this year is no different,” said Christelle Anya, director of content and community at Paris Packaging Week. “Congratulations to all of the nominees and thank you to everyone who participated. The standard of entries this year was extremely high, and narrowing those entries down to this year’s shortlist was incredibly difficult,” added Anya.

“It means we are proud to present a truly exciting collection of innovations that illustrate key trends in packaging development today. It is an inspiring group of packaging innovations and will be a must-see part of this year’s Paris Packaging Week,” added Anya.
