“In its 15th year, IPA is congratulating 47 winners from 10 countries across the Asia Pacific region for winning this prestigious award,” said Fujifilm. 

The annual competition is open to all users of FUJIFILM Business Innovation graphic communications solutions across the region. 

“There was a total of 193 (single) submission for 25 categories -- with the most competitive categories in Brochure, Catalogues & Leaflets and Packaging & Labels -- over 40 entries were received for each of the category,” Fujifilm said.

“The entries under Brochures, Catalogues & Leaflets and Packaging & Labels categories grew more than double of last year and it demonstrated an upcoming trend and demand for short run packaging and labels. Brands not only seek for more impactful appeal on their packaging to entice customers, but to reach them quickly as well. The current digital print packaging allows shorter run length, just-in-time delivery, and a reduced minimum order quantity (MOQ) requirement as product lifecycle becomes shorter.”

Head judge Paul Callaghan: "What we saw, what is trending and what we noticed this year -- digital packaging in this competition has taken off and was one of the most significant categories we judged. In fact, we had to split into two sub-categories, Rigid Packaging and Carton Packaging. If you think digital packaging was lagging in any way, I can assure you, it is here and has come of age."
