NJPEC’s 39th Annual Package of the Year Awards (SEE VIDEOS) and Banquet was held on Thursday, November 16, 2017, at The Madison Hotel in Morristown, NJ. More than 100 entries, in numerous categories and across a range of disciplines, were evaluated by a group of expert judges, resulting in a total of 56 awards handed out.

Peter Gould, co-chairman of the annual event, along with Karen Hadden-Wolf, said: “This year’s winners showed more technical expertise in everything from printing to self-dosing applicators, than ever before.”

Hadden-Wolf commented: “It was a very textural array of products this year—everything was about different textures.”

Here’s a look at some of this year’s top NJPEC Beauty award winners:
