NJPEC 2022 Package of the Year Awards

2/21/2023

Encore International is excited to announce that we've won multiple awards in the 42nd Annual NJPEC Package of the Year competition!

The Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day home and car diffusers won both the gold and visual impact awards in the Household/Industrial category. These diffuser containers were developed as a new and unique twist to diffuse scent in your home or car. Made from paperboard, these containers consist of inner and outer tubes with die cut holes that are intentionally placed so fragrance is released as the outer box is rotated. It can then be turned to adjust the intensity of the scent to the user’s liking. The home diffusers can be set in any room, and the car diffusers have an elastic so they can be hung easily. Wherever they are placed, these diffusers add a refreshing scent and a colorful decorative touch to the space.

The Fran's Chocolates snowman advent box won both the gold and visual impact awards in the Promotional category. This rigid style box with lift off lid is uniquely shaped like a snowman. It is wrapped in linen texture paper with cute snowman and present graphics printed with accents of two different foil colors. This combination of shape, texture, and graphics make for a package that pops both on the shelf and online. Not only is this fun snowman advent gift-worthy, it could also be kept for holiday decorating and storage for years to come!

Encore International is excited to announce that we've won two awards in the 41st Annual NJPEC Package of the Year competition!

The limited edition George & Viv 24 Days of Beauty advent calendar box we supplied for Anthropologie won the Promotional Gold award. This rigid book style box contains twenty four inner folding kraft boxes for individual product to be opened each day leading up to Christmas. Illustration style graphics with gold, blue, and fushia foil created an eye catching visual on the shelf and online.

The coffret box we developed for Luxe Brands for Ariana Grande was awarded with the Bronze in the Gift Set category. Inspired by a holiday box Encore created, this rigid foil wrapped box has a PET window on the front panel that allows viewing not only of the various products but also a dimensional scene inside. These layers add a unique element that really stands out, making for an excellent gift and worthy of keepsake.

NJPEC 2018 Package of the Year Awards

11/30/2018

Encore International is excited to announce that we've won two awards in the 40th Annual NJPEC Package of the Year competition!

The prestige fragrance gift boxes we supplied to Luxe Brands for Ariana Grande have been awarded with the Gold Award in the Gift Set category. This set of folding boxes were designed to be specialty items that could also ship flat for cost effectiveness. Each box has different art, printing, and finishes to match the fragrance they hold and hinge open with a ribbon puller so all three compartments can be viewed on display. These boxes are striking individually or together to create an impressive and eye catching display on shelf.

The limited edition coffret box we supplied to Revlon/Elizabeth Arden for Juicy Couture has been awarded with the Silver Award in the Fragrance category. The design of this box was intended to be unique to help convey its standing as a specialty item. Not your typical rectangle box, this closes to be a pentagon shape, keeping in line with the current geometric trend. Creative and original, this giftable coffret box is keepsake worthy.
