Neenah, Wis. - Menasha, the industry’s largest independent, retail-focused packaging and merchandising solutions provider, was recognized with 16
Design of the Times (DOT) awards by the
Path to Purchase Institute (P2PI).
DOT recognizes the most effective and innovative in-store activations, retail displays, and marketing campaigns throughout the year. This year, there were nearly 300 entrants in eight retail channels including consumer electronics, convenience, drug, home centers/hardware, mass merchandisers, specialty, sporting goods, and supermarket/grocery stores.
Menasha took home awards in four of the categories: convenience, drug, mass merchandisers, and supermarket/grocery. 135 entries won an award at this year’s competition.
“Being chosen for multiple DOT awards at the
Path to Purchase Expo (P2PX) is a tremendous honor,” Dennis Bonn, Menasha vice president of marketing, said. “Being recognized for the second year in a row with a platinum distinction shows the impact we’ve made in our industry through hard work and continuous innovation.”
The first round of judging took place on July 14, 2016 in Chicago. Final judging to name platinum and “Best of the Times” awards took place Tuesday, September 20, during the P2PX at the Donald E.
