For Rochester Institute of Technology's 2026 Student Design Challenge team, a box of chocolates became an opportunity to bring a brand story to life.

Their Pacha Cacao concept celebrates Brazilian-inspired confections through a five-sided retail carton with a floral top, vibrant interior illustrations, and an insert that holds five truffles. The team explored sketches and physical prototypes to bring the flower-inspired structure to life, balancing a distinctive opening experience with a carefully arranged presentation.

Congratulations to RIT students Ava Moran, Joanne Tong, Natalie Randolph, Max Mazgelis, and Emily Zhao on their second-place win. Their presentation at PPC’s Fall Meeting in Orlando offered a bright look at the creativity the next generation is bringing to our industry.

California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly)'s Dāt team packed a whole flavor journey into paperboard and earned first place in this year’s Student Design Challenge!

Created for Dāt, a concept for chocolate-coated date cakes inspired by destinations around the world, the packaging connects the promise of discovery with the experience of opening the box. Color-coded retail cartons distinguish the flavors, while fitted inserts give each treat its own place.

Dāt showcases the thought that goes into making graphics, structure, and brand storytelling work together. Congratulations to Cal Poly students Halina Herc, Aviv Kesar, Samantha Heintz, Eddie Chow, Izack Padilla, Tyler Innes, and Marissa Johnston on their first-place win and for bringing fresh imagination and thoughtful problem-solving to the future of packaging.

A legacy extends beyond a name or a title. It lives in the relationships, lessons, and values passed from one generation to the next.

For nearly four decades, Mark Scagliarini helped shape Pioneer Packaging through his knowledge of packaging, relationships, and care for the people around him.

To Addison and Taylor Camossi, he was also a role model, mentor, and father figure who helped prepare them for the responsibility they now carry.

That’s a wrap from Orlando!

Over three days, the PPC community celebrated exceptional packaging, heard new ideas, challenged assumptions, welcomed new voices, and spent time with the people who know this industry best.

Thank you to every attendee, speaker, student, volunteer, sponsor, and first-time participant who helped make Fall Meeting what it was. And to our industry partners whose support made everything possible – thank you for investing in our community!

We wrapped up Fall Meeting with brunch, mimosas, LEGO® bricks, and a reminder that innovation belongs to all of us.

Leo Chan, Chief Innovation Igniter at Abound Innovation Inc., closed Fall Meeting by challenging one of the biggest misconceptions about innovation: that it belongs to a select group of naturally creative people.

Through The Art of Innovation and hands-on LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, attendees put that idea into practice, using play, curiosity, and new ways of thinking to unlock possibilities.

The key takeaway: You don’t have to be the most creative person in the room to innovate. You just have to be willing to see something different and try.
