THERE is only one week remaining to enter the London Packaging Week Innovation Awards 2026.
Brands, designers, manufacturers and packaging innovators have until April 24 to put their work forward for the awards programmes. The Innovation Awards recognise packaging that delivers on both creativity and performance, from structural ingenuity and technical execution to sustainability credentials and commercial impact.
Entries are assessed by a 22-strong judging panel of industry leaders spanning luxury, beauty, drinks and FMCG, with decision-makers from organisations including Diageo, Pernod Ricard and Glenmorangie in premium drinks; Starbucks, Carlsberg Britvic, Marks & Spencer and Kingfisher plc across FMCG and retail; and beauty, personal care and prestige fragrance brands such as Burberry, Boots, Trinny London and PZ Cussons.
The panel also includes perspectives from organisations such as the British Beauty Council and the Food and Drink Federation.
Christelle Anya, content & community director for London Packaging Week, said, “These awards are about recognising packaging that goes beyond aesthetics. We are looking for work that pushes innovation forward, strengthens consumer engagement, advances technical capability and demonstrates clear commercial value. Impact is essential.”
The 2026 Innovation Awards span 23 categories across Premium & Luxury Packaging, Personal Care & Beauty, Drinks, Food, Consumer & Homeware, and Sustainability, capturing the full spectrum of innovation across the global packaging industry.
Finalists and winners will be announced at London Packaging Week on 16 & 17 September 2026 at Excel London. Winning entries will be showcased in front of thousands of brand owners, designers, manufacturers and decision-makers.
