The 2022 IMDA Awards Competition will recognize outstanding in-mold labeled packaging, in-mold decorated durable products and in-mold electronics submissions that were produced in 2021 or are slated for release in 2022.

Entries from around the world will showcase the best in in-mold design and technical achievement. This year’s competition continues to recognize the innovations related to sustainability and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Winners of the competition will be announced at the IMDA Symposium, scheduled for September 28-29, 2022, in Ypsilanti, Michigan. In addition, winning entries will be prominently publicized in various media and displayed during events, including the IMDA website, In-Mold Messenger newsletter, and industry publications.

Judges will look at overall design and complexity, integration of the in-mold element into the part or package, functionality, and innovation in materials and processes. Manufacturing difficulty and complexity of the part, label, design or mold will also be considered.

This competition is open to companies involved in in-mold labeled packaging, in-mold decorated durable products and in-mold electronics. 

The 2022 IMDA Awards Competition is supported by several sponsors, including Innovia, Kurz, StackTeck, Yupo, InkWorks Printing, Sussex IM, and Wipfli.
