Nearly 200 entries were submitted to the 2019 Packaging Impressions Excellence Awards, which marked the 33rd edition of the competition. With categories for nearly all packaging types and printing processes, the Excellence Awards serve as a showcase of the best-of-the-best in packaging production from around the world.

This year's competition featured entries from nine countries and ran the gamut of labels, flexible packaging, folding cartons, shrink sleeves, and corrugated packaging and displays. Categories for flexographic, offset, gravure, and digital printing showcased the high-quality level each printing process can achieve and demonstrated that when it comes to producing great graphics, each printing process can truly hold its own.
