Smilesys wins the Best Packaging Award 2026
Smilesys has won the Best Packaging Award 2026 with an innovative, sustainable packaging solution for fresh and ready meals.
The award-winning system consists of an FSC-certified paper tray paired with a patented resealable film, designed to ensure maximum convenience throughout the product’s entire lifecycle—from purchase to home storage. The pack is suitable for oven and microwave use, allows easy opening, and features repeatable hermetic resealing, helping to reduce food waste.
 
The innovation lies in the integration of materials and technologies that eliminate traditional rigid plastic lids, replacing them with a high-performance film that can be resealed more than 20 times and offers anti-fog and anti-UV properties. The system is also designed to facilitate material separation during disposal, making the tray fully recyclable in the paper stream.

From an environmental perspective, the solution developed by Smilesys fully aligns with new European packaging regulations, significantly reducing plastic usage and optimizing logistics thanks to an efficient, stackable design.
In addition to its technical advantages, the packaging also delivers strong communication value: the wide customizable surface allows for the integration of QR codes, informational content, and sustainability messages, enhancing the dialogue between brands and consumers at the point of sale.
 
This recognition confirms Smilesys’ commitment to developing increasingly advanced packaging solutions, capable of meeting market needs and addressing today’s environmental challenges.
