HBA Global Expo announced the winners of its annual International Package Design Awards (IPDA) competition. Hundreds of beauty and packaging professionals gathered at the end of the opening day of HBA Global Expo for the reveal of the winners, and these awards honor the year’s most innovative packaging in several categories including cosmetics, fragrance, personal care, skin care and sustainability. Categories for sampling/travel size products and at-home devices and tools have also been added to the program.
Judging for the IPDA was done by a “Committee of 100” made up of industry professionals, designers, suppliers and members of the media.
