There is still time to enter our CanTech the Grand Tour Awards, ahead of this year’s show in Mumbai, from 26-28 March.
We’re calling all can and end makers, not just those based in/distributing India but in Asia too, to submit their latest innovations and product upgrades, which fit in to the following categories:
- Aerosols
- Beverage two-piece
- Beverage three-piece
- Decorative/Speciality
- Ends/Caps/Closures
- Food two-piece
- Food three-piece
- General Line
- Innovation
There will also be a Supreme Winner chosen. Recipients of this award join an elite line-up of past winners, and will receive our trophy as well as a certificate and industry recognition of excellence in can/end making. During the last in-person edition of the show, which was in February 2020, Canpack took home the Supreme Winner Award, and category winners of the virtual 2022 edition included Crown, Trivium Packaging and The Box.
Your entry could showcase a specific process involved in the can’s design, such as special effect inks; coatings; shaping; embossing/debossing; a new opening feature; energy saved during the can making process/other sustainability considerations… the possibilities are endless. Our jury is not only on the lookout for ‘new,’ but unique.
This year’s awards ceremony will take place during the Gala Dinner on 27 March 2024.
The closing date for entries is 27 February 2024. Please fill in our submission form and send to Aimee Carnell at [email protected] – the address for sending the physicals cans to is:
