Design Conference and Awards 2026

Just a few days ago we held our 2026 Design Conference and Awards to present design solutions, share ideas, best practice and understand the current marketplace of design in the corrugated sector.

Gareth Stell, UK Sales Director welcomed designers and senior team members from all businesses within the group.

Each design team was required to present at least one innovative design from the last twelve months and share with colleagues the brief from the customer, the challenges, the design and the outcome.

Gareth commented; “This was very productive once again and our design colleagues found the day very useful, seeing what their peers have been working on over the last twelve months.
There were some great questions and debate taking place surrounding corrugated design and how best we can support our diverse customer base with innovative designs.”

This year’s winner was the team from Boxes and Packaging (Doncaster) whilst a joint entry from Jardin Corrugated and The Cardboard Box Company was Highly Commended.
Gareth concluded; “It was excellent to see more group collaboration, and I urge our designers to continue to challenge and question so we can add real value to our customers.”
