The ceremony was held in the Centro de Exposiciones Banamex in Mexico City as part of “Expo Pack Mexico 2013”.
Of the 47 awards, the maximum distinction given to the container Aceitunas Mediterraneas Gourmet 2 KG (Gourmet Mediterranean Olives 2KG) stands out, being considered one of the two best containers of the Contest obtaining the highest score given by the jury.
Similarly its container Salsa Herdez 12 OZ was also awarded the recognition of stellar container in the Safety category, which refers to the protection of the bottled product, consumer convenience, and opening & closing ease.
