Say ‘Hello’ to this year’s ‘Best of Show’

Last month the National Association of Container Distributors (NACD) held its annual NACD Packaging Awards program ceremony which recognizes the most innovative packages released from the year prior. The event was held at the Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale in Fort Lauderdale, FL, on April 10, 2014 to coincide with the NACD 2014 Annual Convention where the winners were honored.

There were a total of nine categories for judges to evaluate and the criteria went off of packaging innovation, sustainability, graphics, decoration, shape, closure, texture, ease-of-use, consumer appeal and technical merit. Categories include; Beverage, Cosmetic & Personal Care, Drug & Pharmaceutical, Food, General Industry, Household Chemical & Auto, Pet & Vet, Novelty and Best Use of Stock Components.

In addition to category winners, there were two unique awards that were honored: Bernard M. Seid Best of Show and the NACD People’s Choice Award. Below is a list of this year’s winners.

Entry forms for the 2015 Awards will be available later this year. Photos of every winning product are available here.
