The annual awards celebrate success in packaging innovation across ten categories. In addition, two special awards are also honored: the NACD’s People’s Choice Award and the Bernard M. Seid “Best of Show” Award.

MJS Packaging worked with long-time customer, Perrigo, to create a custom nasal spray package to meet new federal regulations. The collaboration resulted in an award in the pharmaceutical category.

Finish Line Technologies, a manufacturer of bicycle lubricants, wanted to improve the safety of its products. It turned to MJS Packaging for a child resistant packaging solution. This package was recognized with an award in the industrial category.

In addition, the line of whiskey products from micro-distillery Motor City Gas was voted by all in attendance as one of the top two favorite packages among all entries, tying for the People’s Choice Award.Finish LinePerrigo nasal spray package
