Description

Cartonboard and its industry has a great story to tell and we want you to be the storyteller! Ranging from product protection and safety, brand communication, consumer convenience, anti-counterfeit protection all the way to its exceptional sustainability benefits, there is a lot to say.

Pro Carton have been representing the interests of the carton and cartonboard industry for more than 30 years and we are delighted to announce our new award scheme aimed mainly at marketing, media, business and film students.

The Pro Carton Student Video Award is the new European competition for video storytelling about cartons and cartonboard and there’s EUR 5,000 to be won!
