June 14, deadline to participate in the Metal Packaging of the Year, organized by MPMA

The Metal Packaging Manufacturers Association (MPMA) has issued its latest call for entries for the sponsored category “Metal Packaging of the Year” in the UK Packaging Awards 2024.

The MPMA (Metal Packaging Manufacturers Association) has decided to bring back the Metal Packaging of the Year category, in order to highlight the best metal packaging and highlight its innovation, versatility, technical expertise and design creativity within the industry.
Those interested in entering the UK Packaging Awards can do so until Friday, June 14, 2024, via the web portal ukpackagingawards.co.uk.

According to Jason Galley, who holds the position of executive director at MPMA, he is inviting all members to be part of this event. To be one of those chosen to receive this recognition is a great honor and demonstrates the quality, innovation and artistic skill in the creation of packaging by the members.

In the Metal Packaging of the Year Award category, there are two main divisions: High Volume Food and Beverage, and Decorative, Promotional and General Line.

In the High Volume Food and Beverage category, last year’s winner was Eviosys with its Ecopeel product. This consists of a metal container whose body is bent at a 45-degree angle to facilitate direct sealing of the foils in the cans.
The company Eviosys was recognized with first place in the Decorative and Promotional category, specifically in the General Line, for its Celestia candle can. This can was produced using a new method that utilizes hot stamping and foil stamping.

According to Galley, the packaging in question is impressive and also introduces a new production method that could be applied to other products. This adds an interesting dimension to decorative metal containers. The expectation is to see more original and creative packaging in the next edition of the awards.

The Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane, London will host the UK Packaging Awards on October 10, 2024, bringing together experts in the field of packaging and retailing.
