The Innovation Awards are officially open for entries, inviting the most creative, disruptive and sustainable packaging solutions from around the world.
Paris Packaging Week is a leading event for the global packaging industry. Its Innovation Awards are among the most prestigious in the sector, offering winners visibility and recognition. As a key meeting point for packaging professionals, it’s a crucial moment for the industry.
Souleyman Lutz, Head of Packaging Development at Rémy Cointreau, said: “The Innovation Awards are a great opportunity to showcase the talent and creativity of our packaging team. More than just recognition, it builds pride, new connections, and keeps us moving forward.”
Luxury category joins the line-up
The ADF, PCD and PLD Innovation Awards have long celebrated excellence in aerosols, beauty and premium drinks packaging.
For 2026, Paris Packaging Week introduces the Premium & Luxury Awards, a brand-new category honouring outstanding achievements in packaging for jewellery and watches, fashion and accessories, fine food and more.
Alex David, Jewellery Quality Manager at Louis Vuitton and a new member of the Packaging Première jury, said: “For me, the Innovation Awards are an opportunity to discover and highlight innovative solutions that address real challenges.”
An exceptional jury
To guarantee the highest standards, Paris Packaging Week has assembled an exceptional jury of packaging leaders and creative visionaries from some of the world’s most prestigious brands — including Bulgari, LVMH, Unilever, Rémy Cointreau, Chanel, Pernod Ricard, and many others.
Entries will be judged on creativity, innovation, sustainability, and their ability to elevate the consumer experience.
New Innovation Awards opening night party
In 2026, an Innovation Awards party will launch Paris Packaging Week on the evening before the exhibition, 4 February 2026.
This exclusive event will be the perfect opportunity to meet key influencers from leading brands, connect with emerging names and celebrate the industry’s most exceptional achievements.

"This new event will foster cross-sector innovation and inspire fresh ideas. When it comes to entries, we want bold stories — breakthroughs and products that solve real problems or elevate experiences. And we’re especially excited to introduce the new Packaging Première Innovation Awards categories.”
