Sponsors

A showcase of the very best in packaging design, functionality, technology and financial performance, the UK Packaging Awards are seen as an opportunity to celebrate all that’s great in UK packaging. 

In short, the UK Packaging Awards ceremony is the key networking event on the packaging calendar, with the guest list reading like a who's who of this illustrious, innovative industry. More than that, the event is at the core of year round promotion, which incorporates vital and beneficial exposure for companies that provide commercial support for the Awards - in print, online, and through promotional activity and event advertising.

Bespoke sponsorship opportunities are available, and allow the sponsor to expose their products and brands to more potential new clients than on any other occasion.  With promotion of the event and of all the sponsors starting as early as 8 months prior to the evening itself, this is the ultimate comprehensive marketing campaign.

To be involved, please speak to James Fleetham, who can be contacted on james [dot] fleethamhaymarket [dot] com or 0208 267 8098. His full contact details are at the foot of each page of this website.

SGS is delighted to be the sponsor of the new Environmental Initiative of the Year Award at this year's prestigious Packaging News Awards. 

CSR is an integral and important part of SGS business strategy. We are actively addressing environmental initiatives and working in partnership with our customers to create individual tailor made solutions that engage increasingly demanding consumer forums who expect to see sustainability efforts from the brands they purchase.

Sustainability is about carbon, energy, materials, resources, processes and ecology.  But at SGS it is also to do with ethics, contracts, responsibility and fairness. These are the key pillars at the core of SGS's own environmental philosophy.

One of the most public battlefields over claims of unsustainable processes, centres on waste and, specifically, on product packaging.  UK households throw away almost 6m tonnes of packaging in their waste every year, according to WRAP.  Packaging provides direct communication between producer and consumer; it is through innovative packaging initiatives and on-pack graphics that brands look to demonstrate their sustainability credentials.  We look forward to honouring the best environmental initiative at these important industry awards.

- Brian McGrath, Group Managing Director, Europe/Asia, SGS International.
