The PPTI Awards, which are in their 12th year and recognize the latest innovative developments in the postal and parcel industry, were announced this week at the Parcel+Post Expo Virtual Live conference. Award winners were chosen by a panel of leading industry executives from around the globe.
Quadient’s CVP Everest high-speed packaging system uses 3D scanning technology to construct tailor-made, right-sized individual corrugate boxes around soft or hard goods of variable sizes.

Making the industry greener and customer-focused through technological innovation is an underlying theme. The awards process is a valuable initiative to give wide recognition to the advances in logistics.”
