Hall of Packaging Excellence at the heart of Packaging Summit 2006

The Packaging Summit 2006 – scheduled for May 16-18 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois – includes the Hall of Packaging Excellence, an innovations hub located front and center in the exposition hall. Over 100 award-winning packages from leading packaging associations - including the Tube Council - will be prominently displayed for attendees to observe up-close.

Explains Stephen Krogulski, business development manager, Packaging Summit, the Hall of Packaging Excellence is more than just an awards kiosk, it is the focal point of the Packaging Summit.

“The Packaging Summit Conference educates packaging professionals about key issues and what packaging does for their products,” says Krogulski. “The expos – Packaging Containers & Materials and Packaging Services – provide inspiration for package development. The Hall of Packaging Excellence shows how education and inspiration lead to the execution of award-winning packages.”

The Hall of Packaging Excellence sets the pace in creativity, showing how flexible, rigid, paperboard, glass, closures, labels, and other packaging forms deliver what the marketplace needs.

“The Hall of Packaging Excellence is vital to this event,” explains Krogulski. “One of the main goals of the Packaging Summit is to recognize how influential these winning packages are. In the Hall of Packaging Excellence, these packages are exactly where they belong – right up front for everybody to see and experience.”

Other Award-winning packages from the Closure Manufacturers Association, the Flexible Packaging Association, the Glass Packaging Institute, the Institute of Packaging Professionals (AmeriStar winners), the National Association of Container Distributors, the Paperboard Packaging Council, and the Tag and Label Manufacturers Institute will be on display.
