Calling all can makers…

In last week’s blog I said I was excited to see the innovations that come out of this year, and this is also true for our 2025 CanTech the Grand Tour Awards, which will be held in Brussels on 1 April.

If you are a can maker that either produces in Europe or makes cans that are distributed in the region, we want to hear from you (if we haven’t done so already). The deadline for submissions is 1 February, less than a month away now!

With varied categories, there is a criteria everyone will be able to fit. Metal packaging is more versatile than ever, which means we’re accepting entries across the food, beverage, aerosol, personal care, general line and speciality/gifting segments.

The awards showcase excellence in can manufacturing and production. Whether you’ve utilised the latest technology to apply a unique printing method, beautiful shaping, an innovative closure or lightweighting, your product will dazzle. Maybe your product is the first canned format to be used for a particular food, beverage or personal care item?

Last year’s winner at the Grand Tour awards in Mumbai was Canpack’s Black Pearl beer can, which was lauded by the judges for its striking black and gold design, and highly detailed print quality.

Consumers are driving the constant demand for cans that carve out their niche on the shelf, not only against their plastic and paper packaging competition, but against the range of other canned formats now available due to the booming market worldwide. Europe is one of the leading regions globally for innovation in metal packaging, and our central location of Brussels at CanTech the Grand Tour’s 2025 edition offers your company the chance for heightened exposure of your expertise.

All our winners receive a trophy and certificate on stage and have the chance to be declared the supreme winner overall by the judges. Further benefits include coverage both online (websites and via our social media) and in print.

Past European winners of the Grand Tour awards include Trivium, Crown, Canpack, Ball, The Box, Sarten Ambalaj and many more. Want to join their ranks? Enter today for free.
