2009 Editors’ Choice Awards

As our editors judged this year’s CPC Packaging Editors’ Choice Award contendors, we can report that there was no shortage of packaging excellence. Although competition was tough, we were able to pick 13 of our favorite packages as this year’s winners.

The packages competing in this year’s awards were launched between March 1, 2008, and February 28, 2009. Editors looked for many packaging features during judging: design, functionality, originality, and technological excellence, to name a few.

As always, articles about the awards include comments from a panel of industry experts who provided their points of view on what makes the winning packages outstanding. We thank our panelists and all of our readers who took the time to send in their nominations. Congratulations to our 2009 winners!
