Fespa has announced the winners of the 2025 Fespa Awards during the official ceremony at Fespa Global Print Expo 2025 in Messe Berlin, Germany. Across the categories, this year’s awards celebrated excellence and creativity across print, signage, packaging, vehicle wrapping 3D, special effects and more.
With 278 entries this year from over 30 countries, the 2025 edition of the Fespa Awards has proved to be more in-demand than the 2023 Awards, which received around 210 entries.
The gold winners of the application categories are:
Winners of the following categories were also announced during the ceremony:
The Innovation Award was presented to P&P Promotion in Italy, for its entries into the Direct Printing on Three Dimensional Products category. The entries were titled ‘Grappa Del Lupo-Gruppo Montenegro,’ ‘Bolghari Premium Quality Gin-Peacock Tuscany’ and ‘Silla Vodka.’
The People’s Choice Award, which is voted for online by the Fespa global print and signage community, was won this year by Ekostand – a biodegradable display in Poland. The entry, titled ‘Walstead Krakow,’ was submitted to the ‘Display and Packaging on Paper and Board’ category. In addition, this entry also won the Sustainability Award.
The Young Star Award welcomed entries across all categories from employees, trainees, and students aged 16 and 25. This year’s winning entry was titled ‘Heads’ and is an end-of-year final project for an Art-industrial school in Trenčín Slovakia.
The Best In Show Award, which is selected as the most outstanding example of print, was awarded to Iwaarden in The Netherlands for its ‘Rebranding Office Odido’ entry in the Printeriors category.
New to 2025, the Distinction Award was presented to Visix Brand Shiners from Belgium for its ‘Project Focus’ entry in the roll-to-roll printed textiles category.
The inclusion of categories like 3D and special effects this year shows how rapidly the print industry is evolving. I’d be curious to know what made Iwaarden’s entry stand out among so many international submissions.
