Paris Packaging Week has revealed the finalists for its ADF Innovation Awards, highlighting the best and most innovative packaging from the past year across the beauty, luxury, premium drinks, and aerosol sectors.

Winners will be revealed at ceremonies at the event on 17 & 18 January; while visitors to Paris Packaging Week will be able to see and take inspiration from the finalists at a dedicated Innovation Awards gallery at the event.

The finalists have been chosen from a total of more than 220 entries from across the world. They were selected by a jury of international experts representing the biggest brand owners in the world of aerosols, beauty and drinks at three judging days in December.

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

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