Print-Packaging.com (P) Ltd. is the organiser of successful exhibitions and conferences in niche segments of the packaging industry. This year, the shows will be held together as a total packaging event in August 2008 in New Delhi. The exhibition will be the largest packaging event in the country with over 325 exhibiting companies and reflect the dynamic growth and myriad opportunities that make the Indian industry.

The exhibition is expected to attract over 15000 visitors that include the who-is-who among the printers, converters, corrugated box makers and suppliers of machines, materials and services. Representatives of the largest packaging users in the country form a large part of the visitors. Several events are traditionally held along with the exhibition that gives tremendous value to the visitor. These include training programmes and an International conference. Industry associations hold their AGMs or managing committee meetings alongside the event.

As the event evolves and takes the center stage in the industry calendar, it gives a tremendous opportunity to use the platform to honour the companies that have made a difference in their respective segments by continuous innovation and provided new science, products or technology solutions to the industry.

It is therefore proposed to institute an Annual National Awards for Innovation in Packaging from this year to be given away in a gala celebration at an appropriate venue during the event.

Objectives:

These Awards recognize that the Packaging Industry in India has emerged from humble beginnings to playing a very significant role in the daily lives of the people due to the tireless efforts of visionaries and companies who inspired the industry with their values and dedication.
