The Caneletto box, for example, which the judges said “showed an excellent use of foil and oozed luxury” thanks to embossing, hidden magnetic catch, silk-lined inner and silver-foil blocking. Meanwhile the Centre Point box was “beautiful in its simplicity” with a copper foil-blocked lid and tray with foam panel die-cut, all shrouded in a lustrous printed wrap.

A runner-up in 2014, Screaming Colour made a lot of noise again in 2017 with a Smashbox cosmetics launch made using Ebony Colorplan and Black Plike over board with a nifty hinged lid that doubled as a mirror. Concealed in a recess in the box was the new cosmetic, which when removed revealed other items in a drawer. The judges were made up: “Smashbox was hard to fault. Outstanding.”
