The Box Manufacturing Olympics (BMO) combines TAPPI’s CorrPak Competition and AICC’s Design Competition into one unified event with competitors from across the globe. The BMO is open to all TAPPI and AICC members who produce corrugated, rigid box and folding cartons, as well as their suppliers. Packaging schools and universities are also invited to participate in the competition and have their own categories and requirements.

“TAPPI and AICC members are encouraged to seize this opportunity to showcase their innovative solutions and designs on an international stage,” said AICC President Michael D'Angelo. “Participation in the BMO provides a platform for demonstrating excellence and opens doors to new business opportunities and collaborations.”

Judges will evaluate entries on a number of levels, including design, quality, graphic excellence, technical difficulty and innovative application, among others. All entries will be prominently displayed on SuperCorrExpo® exhibit floor and winners will be announced each day preceding the opening session, with the Best of the Industry winners and Attendees’ Choice winners being announced on the last day. Winners will be featured on the SuperCorrExpo®, TAPPI and AICC websites, and will also be announced in various industry publications.

"We are excited to once again host such a prestigious competition that showcases the best our industry has to offer," said TAPPI CEO and President Larry N. Montague. "The Box Manufacturing Olympics highlights the incredible achievements and innovations within our field, bringing together the brightest minds and most skilled professionals from around the world.
