European Carton Excellence Award nomination for Posson Packaging and Le Petit Vapoteur — powered by FOLBB board
We are proud to announce that Posson Packaging, in collaboration with their client Le Petit Vapoteur, has been nominated for the 2025 European Carton Excellence Awards (ECMA). At the heart of the nominated packaging concept: our Excellent Top Strong GC2 board.
The project is a standout example of innovation and sustainability — a premium Advent calendar consisting of 25 unique folding boxes, all made from our Excellent Top Strong cartonboard. The result combines creative structural design, flawless functionality, and a low-impact material footprint.
This success is the result of a strong and effective three-way partnership:
-
✅ Le Petit Vapoteur developed the vision for a distinctive seasonal concept
-
✅ Posson Packaging managed the full design and production process
-
✅ The FOLBB Group supplied the board and supported the project as a flexible development partner
Why Excellent Top Strong?
Our virgin fiber GC2 board was chosen for its rigidity, smooth surface, and high-quality print performance — essential for precise folds, detailed visuals, and glitter finishes. The material ensures durability, a premium feel, and full recyclability.
Both the outer sleeve and all 25 internal boxes are made entirely from Excellent Top Strong, offering:
-
🔹 Precise creasing and folding
-
🔹 Brilliant print and embellishment quality
-
🔹 Strong structure, fit for reuse throughout December
In addition, the insert is made entirely from corrugated cardboard, eliminating the need for plastic and resulting in a 100% recyclable packaging solution.
This project demonstrates how material choice, smart engineering, and close collaboration lead to impactful design — delivering true consumer value while supporting sustainable innovation.
