The deadline to submit entries for the Digital Labels & Packaging Awards 2023 is fast-approaching, so be sure to get your best work entered into the competition by 21 April to be in with the chance of winning a trophy in 2023.

The Digital Labels & Packaging Awards were launched last year to celebrate the great and the good using inkjet and toner-based technologies to both print and convert reels and sheets, from labels and shrink sleeves to flexible packaging and pouches, via cans, bottles and even foodstuffs decorated using such technologies.

This year’s competition features for new categories to ensure even more of the digital print for packaging value chain can achieve success in the Digital Labels & Packaging Awards. A total of 14 categories can be entered in 2023. Download the entry form here. A 15th award – the Supreme Award – is to be bestowed upon the winning entry from one of the categories that best reflects what digital print for packaging is about today and what it can do to drive success in the future. The Digital Labels & Packaging Awards 2023 judges are Sean Smyth, Patrick Poitevin, Jenny Stanley and Greg Bentley.

Digital Labels & Packaging editor David Pittman said, ‘This year’s awards are going to be even bigger and better. The quality and profile of work already entered has me excited for the judging day in early May and then to reveal the winners.

‘To be in with a chance of getting yourself in that group, I implore all those with entry forms on their desks waiting to be sent off and also those deliberating whether to enter or not, get your entries to us as soon as possible.
