Third Time Lucky for Boxes Prestige at Annual Industry Awards

 For the third year running, Boxes Prestige and The Virgin Cosmetics company have won UK-wide recognition for producing outstanding luxury packaging to enhance The Virgin Cosmetics Company Christmas range.

It’s the tenth time that Boxes Prestige, part of the expanding Boxes Group, has secured an accolade for the most creative use of folding box board in the history of The Spotlight Awards, organised by Paper and Print Focus. The event was held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London and was sponsored by Iggesund Paperboard.

The winning cartons were for two Virgin Vie Collections - Glittering and Shimmering.  The carton designs were constructed by the design studio at Boxes Prestige, produced on 490 micron Incada Silk and printed using a four colour process plus gold, high gloss varnish and foil blocking.

Grapics for the cartons were created by The Virgin Cosmetics Company Head of Design, Allison Miles, said: “We are passionate about our packaging. Teamwork ensures we are able to see our vision recreated in flat print. A lot of time, effort and dedication went into achieving these designs, all the photography was created with the help and commitment of a great photographer Eugenio Franchi which were recreated in print beautifully by Prestige Boxes. Well done to all involved.”

Boxes Prestige Business Development Manager, Clive Earby, added: “It’s a fantastic achievement to share this terrific success with The Virgin Cosmetics Company for the third time in succession and a delight to work with a company with the same commitment to excellence and first class packaging.”

Boxes Prestige, based in Northampton, is one of seven specialist companies in The Boxes Group which major on product presentation in a wide range of fields. The business operates from five sites throughout the UK and is part of Clondalkin, the international group of companies producing specialist packaging and printing products.
