EMEA CP Secure E Box World Star

Secure e-box Liderpack 2022 & WorldStar Packaging Award 2023

We’re proud that Liderpack named our Secure E-Box as the Best Logistics and Distribution Packaging in 2022 and that it was recognized with a 2023 WorldStar of Packaging Award. 

Also called the 'inviolable box', this innovative corrugated cardboard box features a tamper-evident closure that breaks the first time it’s opened. The E-Commerce Secure Box also comes with additional tabs at the top and on the inside that allow it to be reused for returns.

Not only is this box made from 100% recycled corrugated material, but it also doesn’t require the use of any adhesive tape or other material, thus promoting the circular economy and sustainability.

Awards

2022

  • Cookware display - ATEF 2022 and FTA Europe Diamond Awards 2022

    One of our high-quality printing boxes won first prize in the 2022 ATEF awards program in Spain, recognizing excellence in flexography. The box was created for customer Isogona by our Valls box plant in Spain. Used to promote the customer's Monix brand of cookware products, the display features a motif of multiple colors, logos and text. But the main focus is an image of the renowned Spanish chefs Javier and Sergio Torres. Using the latest techniques in flexo-printing, the exact quantity of ink and color combination is applied to the high-quality printing box. The result is a brightly colored display featuring a crisp image of two widely recognizable celebrity chefs that immediately stands out and grabs the attention of passing customers. The display box also made second place in the 2022 FTA Europe Diamond Awards.

  • Ecological fungicide box - ATEF 2022

    Our box was chosen as winner of the 2022 ATEF awards, a Spanish contest recognizing excellence in flexography, thanks to the high quality level of the photographic finish of the images printed on E-flute board.

  • 12-Bottle case for wine - ATEF 2022

    This wine box won first prize in the 2022 ATEF awards program in Spain. Very elegant in its presentation, the packaging was selected for its highly sophisticated printing techniques using 5 colors and varnish. The jury highlighted particularly the play of light and shadow, the sharp details, as well as the technique of playing with the pressure of the die and clichés, along with the environmental benefits from using water-based inks for the gold color instead of the usual metallic inks.

  • Circular Box – Conai Award 2022 and Best Packaging 2022

    Our Circular Box range of secondary packaging for transporting personal care products was a finalist in the Best Packaging 2022 contest. The package was designed by our team in Italy for customer Colgate-Palmolive. 
    More than a box, the Circular Box is a circular economy solution that reduces waste and increases recycling and material recovery. The circle begins with a local transport company, which collects paper and cardboard scraps from the customer’s plant. These scraps are then delivered to a local paper mill, which makes recycled paper that IP’s Pomezia plant then transforms into its Circular Box range. The process results in a completely closed and sustainable circular supply chain for the paper used. Watch a short video.
    The annual Best Packaging contest is organized by the Italian Packaging Institute (Istituto Italiano Imballagio), in collaboration with Conai (National Packaging Consortium).  

Awards

2022

  • One Box – Packaging Innovation Prize 2021 and VITeff Prize 2021

    In 2021, our OneBox won multiple awards. It won first place in the Corrugated Board category of the Packaging Innovation Prize, organized by the French company G.I.S.I. It also received first prize in the Technological Innovation category at the VITeff exhibition. 

    Developed for six bottles of wine, the OneBox was specifically recognized for its many innovative features and sustainability advantages.  

    The packaging is unique in that it combines two functions in one solution. On the one hand, it provides maximum protection to the wine bottles during shipping while, on the other, it serves as an attractive promotional display with its built-in handle, flat layout and ability to be printed both inside and out. 

    Another unique feature is that all of the OneBox's components – from the outer packaging to internal fittings – are made from a single piece. This innovative design feature significantly simplifies the packing process for the customer and avoids over-packaging. 

    Furthermore, thanks to the use of a tamper-proof locking system, the package is made entirely from corrugated board and does not require any additional glue or tape, making it a fully recyclable packaging solution that contributes to the circular economy. 

    OneBox was designed by International Paper in France.

Produced at our Bellusco box plant in Italy, the display was designed by Redbox, a partner of IP. The award was shared with TADAM srl, an IP flexo printing equipment supplier.
