Packaging plays a crucial role at every stage of the supply chain, whether at point of sale or from primary producer to manufacturer. This award aims to give the industry a glimpse of what the future might hold for packaging, as well as inspiring up-and-coming talent to engage with the food and drink industry's biggest issues and trends. Pro2Pac is the UK's only dedicated packaging and processing show for the food and drink industry, which runs alongside IFE, and will serve as the perfect platform to showcase cutting-edge design and innovation.
