Women in Packaging Awards

In our ongoing quest to celebrate leadership excellence in the Australian packaging industry, PKN is launching the inaugural Women in Packaging Awards program, which aims to foster diversity, promote innovation, and inspire future leaders in the Australian packaging industry.

The PKN Women in Packaging Awards program will recognise and honour women who have made significant contributions to the Australian packaging industry.

From product design and materials innovation to supply chain management and sustainability initiatives, the awards will cover a broad spectrum of achievements. This year there are six award categories: Innovation Champion Award; Sustainability Leader Award; Packaging Technologist of the Year Award; Design and Branding Visionary Award; Manufacturing Leader Award; and Communications Excellence Award. You can find out more about the awards criteria and scoring rubric here.

The program is now closed for entries. Judging will end mid-May and finalists will be announced towards the end of May.

Finalists and winners will be recognised at the PKN Women in Packaging Awards luncheon event taking place on Friday 21 June in Sydney. Spaces are limited. Book your spot here
