Entries now open for the Paris Packaging Week 2027 Innovation Awards

Behind every packaging innovation lies an initial idea, prototypes, testing, adjustments, and sometimes doubts. It takes months of work to arrive at the right solution. With the opening of submissions for the Innovation Awards, Paris Packaging Week invites industry professionals to give these projects the recognition they deserve.

An international showcase for packaging innovation, Paris Packaging Week brings together brands, designers, and manufacturers who are shaping the experiences of tomorrow. Its Innovation Awards are among the industry’s most prestigious honors and highlight projects that successfully combine creativity, technical performance, sustainability, and desirability.

An opportunity to put every innovation in the spotlight

Whether it is a new creation, technical advancement, novel material or industrial achievement, the Innovation Awards celebrate innovations that meet market expectations while pushing the boundaries of packaging.

More than simply an award, they give entrants a unique opportunity to showcase their teams’ work, share their expertise with the wider ecosystem and raise their profile among the decision-makers, brands and international experts gathered at Paris Packaging Week.

Four sectors. Four worlds. One place for your innovation

From aerosols and dispensing systems to packaging for beauty, premium drinks and luxury markets, the awards recognise solutions that transform the user experience, strengthen brand identity and address the key environmental and industrial challenges facing their sector.

Luxury is being reinvented, and so are its categories

This year, we are expanding the Packaging Première award categories to better reflect the changing face of luxury. In a world where every detail, interaction and story matters, packaging is no longer just a product: it is an experience.

An outstanding jury for a rigorous selection process

Entries will be assessed by an expert jury of respected professionals from the worlds of branding, design, packaging and innovation. Originality, quality of execution, usability, environmental impact and consumer value will be central to the judging process.

The Innovation Awards tell the story of what happens before a product reaches the market: the research, iterations, technical decisions and creative choices that lead to a truly distinctive solution. Through these awards, we want to give real visibility to the people who innovate, experiment and raise the standards of packaging. We are looking for entries that are ambitious, inspiring and tangible.
