NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
John Henry, a Multi Packaging Solutions Company and leader in
print, packaging, and merchandising solutions for the horticulture
industry, was honored by Floramedia Group at their 41st Annual World
Conference in Berlin on May 26th with two Innovation Awards for its
Plant Porter package.

   Floramedia's annual competition was organized in 1967 to recognize
market-oriented design achievements that improve a plant's
marketability and appeal to end consumers. Awards are given in three
categories - Best Product, Best Out of the Box Product, and Best
Presentation. The delegates voted unanimously for the Plant Porter in
both the Best Out of the Box Package and Best Presentation categories.

   John Henry designed the Plant Porter to add eye-catching packaging
to traditional potted plants to create a convenient gift for any
occasion. Recognizing the challenges of capturing the attention of
busy female shoppers, this purse-inspired package offers shelf-appeal,
versatility, and grab-and-go styling. The Plant Porter can be sized to
fit any pot and customized with graphics for seasonal promotions or
store branding.

   "We are delighted that the John Henry was recognized by Floramedia
for our latest innovation in merchandising solutions," commented
Kristi Huffman, Vice President John Henry. "The Plant Porter is an
excellent example of our philosophy of market-driven creative design
and product development based on emerging industry trends and consumer
buying behaviors."
