About AICC’S Former Package Design Competition
The biennial AICC Independent Packaging Design Competition featured corrugated, folding carton and rigid box categories, providing a wider reach into the entire packaging market and a greater diversity of ideas. Independent boxplants competed for first, second and third place as well as honorable mention awards. Contestants also had the opportunity to win the coveted industry’s People’s Choice or take home the prestigious Judges’ Choice Awards.
Starting in 1981 and running until 2019, AICC was proud to recognize, showcase and reward those independents who have met and exceeded their customers’ expectations of their packaging designs and displays in its packaging design competition.
AICC is happy to continue the competition’s legacy by joining forces with TAPPI to establish the Box Manufacturing Olympics competition which premiered in 2021 and will take place every four years in conjunction with SuperCorrExpo®.
