It takes an effective combination of beauty and utility to create compelling packaging, which is what the New Jersey Packaging Executives Club (NJPEC) honored at its 37th Annual Package of the Year (POY) Awards Banquet on Nov. 19 in Morristown, New Jersey.

At the Madison Hotel, the group celebrated packaging excellence and held a remembrance for NJPEC Packaging Hall of Fame Inductee and industry veteran Vincent T. Brady, who passed away this year on Sept. 26. The Bayonne, New Jersey native began his career working for various manufacturers and distributors in the cosmetic packaging industry until 1985, when he founded Brad-Pak Enterprises (which currently employs a full office and warehouse staff along with an outside sales force).

New to the packaging awards line up this year was the gift sets category, recognized by the booming popularity in the marketplace. Led by Peter Gould, the POY's Chair, the evening's festivities culminated with the governing board, judges, members and their guests congratulating the 2015 Package of the Year winners in:
