Reflecting on 2025: a landmark year of innovation and excellence at Cepac
As we look back at the past 12 months, one word comes to mind: collaboration.
2025 was a record-breaking year for Cepac. From our manufacturing facilities to the international stage, our teams pushed the boundaries of what is possible in corrugated packaging and point-of-sale (POS) design. While the awards are a point of pride, the real success lies in the hard work, technical precision, and creative partnerships behind every individual job.
Setting the Gold standard internationally
Our year began with a historic milestone at the Shop! Global Awards, where we received our first international gold award for POS Design. The project — the Jameson St. Patrick’s Day display for Pernod Ricard — was judged against the best in the world. It proved that the work happening right here in our UK facilities is world-class.
Technical masters in printing
Technical excellence is the heartbeat of Cepac. This year, the FIA UK Awards recognised our mastery of flexo printing, awarding us Gold, Silver, and the prestigious ‘Best in Show.’
We followed this up by winning ‘Application Excellence in Secondary Packaging’ at the Digital Labels & Packaging Awards for the second time. These wins aren't just about the machines; they are about our skilled operators and the incredible support from our machinery, ink, plate, and raw material suppliers.
Winning at the Point of Purchase
Retail impact is where our design and structural engineering truly shine. At the POPAI UK & Ireland Awards, we took home three trophies for our Jameson and Malibu displays.
We capped off the year at the UK Packaging Awards, where our Absolut Warhol FSDU for Tesco (in partnership with Pernod Ricard) won Gold in the Retail Ready and Point of Sale category. It was the perfect ending to a year defined by creativity.
A heartfelt thank you
To our customers, thank you for trusting us with your iconic brands. To our suppliers and partners, thank you for providing the foundation for our success.
And finally, to the entire Team Cepac: these awards belong to you. Your dedication in 2025 has set a new benchmark, and we can’t wait to see what we achieve together in 2026.
Together we achieve more
