The votes are in and the judges (full panel named below) have passed judgement on this year’s entries for the third Luxury Packaging Awards. It’s now time to reveal the shortlists for this year’s event, a glittering awards dinner at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London on Wednesday 14 September.

It was another year of high quality packaging – prestigious, beautifully crafted and innovative. All were created to a very high standard making it an intensive day of judging and a tough job to choose the finalists.

This year’s panel included packaging developers and specifiers from organisations including Diageo, Jo Malone, Crabtree & Evelyn, Procter & Gamble, Bacardi, Edrington, Hotel Chocolat and Harrods. The judges cast their eyes over nearly 100 entrants, all submitting their high-end packaging.
