David Pittman, editor of Digital Labels & Packaging, commented, ‘The inaugural Digital Labels & Packaging Awards proved to be every bit of the success it was expected to be. Digital printers and converters from around the world were given the platform they deserve to promote themselves and their work, and grabbed the opportunity with both hands. Thank you to all those who took the time and effort to enter, praise for all those who were nominated, and congratulations to all the winners.
‘The rip-roaring awards ceremony confirmed what I, as the editor of Digital Labels & Packaging and a package printing aficionado, know – that printing and packaging is the place to be in B2B, with digital very much at the centre of today and tomorrow’s industry.
‘I look forward to doing it all again in 2023 when the Digital Labels & Packaging Awards will return.’
