The New Jersey Packaging Executives Club (NJPEC) is celebrating its 60th anniversary—and the winners of the 43rd annual Package of the Year Awards.
The Estee Lauder Companies (ELC) scored the top prize, taking home the Package of the Year trophy for the Bobbi Brown x Tokidoki Collection. The collection also won the Students' Choice Award and the Gold Award in the Color Cosmetics category.
"Tokidoki" translates to “sometimes” in Japanese. The internationally recognized lifestyle brand is based on Italian artist Simone Legno's vision. The packaging—and makeup pans—are decorated with illustrations of the brand's cartoon-like characters.
ELC also earned an Honorable Mention for its Luxe Lipstick in the Color Cosmetics category.
