The Institute of Packaging Professionals’ (IoPP) AmeriStar Awards competition commemorates the best packages of the year. UBM Canon’s Packaging Group Visionary Awards, meanwhile, pay tribute to people in packaging who “show vision and leadership in advancing their company’s goals of packaging innovation, differentiation, savings and growth.”

IoPP and UBM Canon are holding these awards programs together in a ceremony that celebrates the trailblazers in the packaging industry at EastPack 2013 at the Philadelphia Convention Center in Philadelphia, June 18-20.

The cost to attend is $99 for single tickets and $900 for 10 tickets. For more information, visit www.iopp.org.
