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!

​Are you serious about sustainability? Encore International is! We recently earned our FSC® Certification (FSC-C019842), increasing our commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. If you’re in the market for FSC certified packaging, Encore International can provide that for you!

​FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council®, a non-profit organization with over 25 years of experience in sustainable forest management. This member led group works to protect forests worldwide for future generations, with a mission to promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests. They want to ensure that a forest can maintain wood supply while preserving its biodiversity, productivity, and ecological processes and sustaining its local people and society at large. In order to do so, they create guidelines, standards, and processes to better forest management, and provide certifications to companies that use materials from responsibly managed forests. 

​Packaging eligible for FSC certification must use materials from responsibly managed forests. Because the FSC wants to acknowledge all participating manufacturers, they provide three different labels that might be used for your packaging. The three labels are:

Your packaging might already be sustainable even without an FSC label. But if you want to be sure – and advertise your eco-friendly practices to your consumer – you’ll want to work with an FSC certified supplier. Here at Encore International, we believe it’s important to offer you sustainable options, including paper from FSC certified sources.
