The 2025 PKN Women in Packaging Awards celebrated nine remarkable women whose leadership, innovation and impact are shaping a more inclusive and progressive future for the packaging industry. Held in Sydney, the lunchtime event brought together peers, mentors and industry leaders to recognise excellence across the full packaging value chain – from design and sustainability to technology, STEM, and manufacturing.

To capture the energy and emotion of the day, we’ve created a visual highlights reel featuring images from the ceremony – from moments of surprise and celebration to the connections forged among this inspiring community.
