The Fibre Box Association (FBA) and AICC, The Independent Packaging Association recognized 426 corrugated industry plants for safety achievements in 2025.

Safety Awards are given based on data compiled for the recently released 2025 Corrugated Container Industry Annual Report of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses.

For the calendar year 2025, the associations presented 177 Perfect Plant Awards to plants achieving zero incidents. An additional 249 facilities received Safety Excellence Awards for achieving no lost workdays due to job-related injury or illness.

The report provides detailed data for more than 170 million hours worked at 715 participating plants. It also includes trend information presented in graphs for recordable cases, restricted duty cases, and days away from work. Award winners are presented as a percentage of total plant participation, and the Safety Award Winners page serves as a great summary of achievements, including counts of winners by category, number of Perfect Plant Awards, number of Safety Excellence Awards, total awards given, and the percentage of plants awarded.

Participation in the report was voluntary and open to all corrugator or sheet plant facilities manufacturing corrugated products. Participants can view the full report on either of the association’s websites, www.fibrebox.org or www.aiccbox.org.
