The AICC & Board Converting News Innovator of the Year Competition is designed to recognize innovative solutions created by both AICC box plant and supplier members that enhance the efficiencies, productivity, product quality and
bottom line profitability of the independent box plant.
Developed over twenty years ago as a forum for box makers and suppliers to put forward their best innovations, the Innovator of the Year has since evolved into a highly competitive arena that highlights the technological innovations of AICC
members in production, material handling, manufacturing, training, and administration. Each year, the AICC Plant Innovations Committee holds a call for entries and after reviewing the submissions received from AICC members determines the finalist
entries that are then voted on by AICC Annual Meeting attendees. Cosponsored by Board Converting News, the competition alternates its focus between box makers, suppliers, and non-machinery aspects of the converting industry.
An Innovator of the Year is awarded every year in the fall, in four rotating categories.
Fall 2026 - Supplier Non Machinery Category Fall 2027 - Information & Technology Category Fall 2028 - Supplier Machinery Category Fall 2029 - Boxmaker Category
