An orange slipcase with intricate gold-foil cascading leaf design meanwhile proved sustainability doesn’t have to be blandly practical. It can be beautiful. “This was a really well-engineered solution to the brief,” said one Judge. Another added: “Loved the use of vegetable inks to enhance the brand’s sustainable credentials.” Neal’s Yard concluded: “You just know your product is in good safe hands with Curtis – their care for quality is exceptional.”

Temptation almost got the better of judges this year thanks to goodies including Magnum bars, Taylors of Harrogate teas and Bettys Fruit and Herbal teas. The Nottingham printer, and category winner in 2015, finished Bettys’ packaging with matt silver flat and fluted foils. “The Bettys submission showed it’s possible to get a premium feel from cost-effective materials”. Another judge said: “Taylors showed a great understanding of the technical constraints of FMCG production.”
