Hinojosa Packaging Galería Gráfica has received the ‘Carton of the Year’ award at the European Carton Excellence Awards 2024 for its packaging design for the Origen perfume collection by Laboratorios Flor Natural Parfums. The award ceremony, held in Berlin, recognised innovative and sustainable folding carton solutions across various sectors.
The winning design, produced using Stora Enso board, was praised for its sophisticated blend of aesthetics and functionality. The packaging features die-cut details, inner printing, embossing, and side cutouts to create a 3D effect that enhances the sense of volume. Designed with seven distinct models, the collection offers a visually striking presentation at the point of sale.
“The combination of graphic design, structure, and usability impressed the jury, setting this solution apart,” noted the judging panel.
Hinojosa Packaging Galería Gráfica, acquired by the Hinojosa Packaging Group in 2020, specialises in premium packaging for industries including cosmetics, perfumery, gourmet foods, and beverages.
At the event, speakers highlighted the growing role of cardboard in sustainable packaging. “This award demonstrates how cardboard can elevate even luxury products like perfumes, aligning with the shift toward a circular economy,” the organisers said.
The European Carton Excellence Awards are regarded as a benchmark in the packaging industry, celebrating innovative cartonboard solutions that balance design with environmental responsibility.
