Awards, recognitions & successes

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.

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.

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.

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).

International Paper Valls (previously Cartonatges Trilla) was named Best in Show in the Category 3-4+ color printing on corrugated board in Spain’s national Flexography Contest. The award-winning packaging was created for customer Label 5.

Organized by ATEF (the Spanish Flexographic Technical Association), the contest recognizes innovative companies who use flexographic printing to fulfill the demanding needs of brands.

Designed by International Paper’s team in Italy, this innovative packaging designed for the wine e-commerce sector was a finalist in the Best Packaging 2020 contest, which focused on planning and quality design.

Adapting to a variety of different bottle shapes and sizes, the No Limit 2.0 packaging is particularly easy and quick to form, meaning less preparation times for operators. It also ensures guaranteed protection of the contents during all stages of shipment.

The annual Best Packaging contest is organized by the Italian Packaging Institute (Istituto Italiano Imballagio), in collaboration with the Design School of the Milan University (Politecnico di Milano).

International Paper’s Glou Glou wine package won a Silver FlexoStar in the Corrugated Board Flexo Printing on Uncoated Paper category.

The FlexoStar recognizes the high-definition printing happening at IP’s Chalon plant in France. It specifically highlights the natural shades of the printing and its refined graphics.

The FlexoStar is given by the French Technical Association of Flexography (ATF), recognizing France’s best flexo prints.

Designed by International Paper in France, the e-commerce Beer’Pack packaging was chosen as the 2019 winner in the Corrugated Board category of the Packaging Innovation Prize organized by the French company G.I.S.I.

The solution, made for eight bottles, is a corrugated board composed of a box with an inserted partition. The box adheres to shipping requirements, which helps guarantee that goods stay intact during transportation.

The packaging design also allows customers to ship bottles of different shapes and sizes, while displaying the eight-beer selection to consumers in a separate tray.

Another unique feature is that the packaging integrates coasters into the box – providing a sustainable solution while giving the packaging a second life.

International Paper’s Compack Wine transport and display was named one of the best packages of the year. It also received a WorldStar of Packaging award in the Beverage category.

Designed by International Paper in Italy, Compack Wine is a new, innovative and patented packaging solution for wine bottles that improves environmental performance and optimizes transportation.

With this new corrugated cardboard packaging, gaps between each bottle (six at a time) have been narrowed, optimizing the internal space and reducing the total amount of raw material used by 16%. The new design also allows the customer to achieve a 50% increase in boxes transported on standard pallets.

Thanks to its recyclability, Compack Wine brings significant environmental benefits compared to other solutions made from alternative materials.
