The Flexible Packaging Association has conducted the annual Flexible Packaging Achievement Awards competition since 1956 to showcase the industry’s tremendous innovation and advance the seemingly endless uses for flexible packaging. The Flexible Packaging Achievement Awards competition has become one of the most respected in the industry thanks to the outstanding caliber of packaging entries, the objective and methodical judging process, and the extensive media coverage of the competition winners. Its focus on new technologies, printing techniques, package structures, environmental advantages, and new end-uses places the Achievement Awards program in a class by itself.

The 2008 Call for Entries includes an overview of the Achievement Awards program, the competition rules including eligibility requirements and entry fees, complete instructions on how to enter, and the official entry forms that must be submitted to FPA. The Flexible Packaging Association also provides a user-friendly online entry form on its website. Deadline for the 2008 awards is 3 December 2007.
