GERMAN
PACKAGING
AWARD 2024

Almost 250 submissions from 13 countries flooded in to the German Packaging Institute e. V. (dvi), the organiser of Europe's largest packaging exhibition, by the entry deadline. So the 27 independent minds of our fantastic jury certainly had plenty to mull over. During a two-day meeting, they reviewed, debated and evaluated all submissions personally and as a team. In the end, 41 brilliant winners came through.

The large number of innovations submitted shows the commitment and intensity with which the industry continues to work on ever better solutions for people, the economy and the environment. The high quality – right across the board as well as at the top – proves how creatively, responsibly and successfully our companies achieve progress and shape the future. We can look forward to many more great and exciting success stories.
