FlipStraw: Winner at ADF Innovation Awards 2026
20th February, 2026
On February 4th, LINDAL Group was honoured at the ADF Gala Awards Ceremony 2026, hosted at the prestigious Palais Vendôme in Paris.
Marking its 25th anniversary, Paris Packaging Week celebrated this milestone with an exceptional and memorable evening. During the evening, all four categories that make up Paris Packaging Week were represented: PCD, PLD, Packaging Premiere and ADF, and their respective nominees were honoured.
In this year’s ADF competition, 48 entries were submitted across the categories, with only five winners selected. LINDAL Group had entered two innovations — FlipStraw and Glide.
We are proud to announce that FlipStraw received the award in the Packaging Components category.
The prizes were presented by Alain D’Haese, Secretary General of FEA. This year’s trophies were thoughtfully crafted from wood, reflecting a strong eco-friendly mindset.
Later, on February 6th during Paris Packaging Week, all the award winners were invited on stage to showcase their innovations to the audience during the ADF Innovation Awards panel, part of the Global Aerosol & Dispensing Forum. Each winner highlighted the key features and unique strengths that set their products apart.
FlipStraw is an innovative dual-spray actuator, made in Europe, featuring a foldable straw and developed to combine functional performance with a lightweight, eco-conscious design. Specifically engineered for homecare and technical aerosol applications, FlipStraw sets a new benchmark in sustainable actuator solutions.
This versatile actuator has already gained recognition at the AEDA Forum last summer, as well as at the BAMA Forum and Awards in October 2025, further confirming its strong impact across the industry.
In its evaluation, the ADF jury highlighted Flipstraw’s lightweight construction as a key innovation, achieved without compromising functionality or robustness. The dual dispensing option — offering both spray and jet delivery — was also recognised as a major advantage, providing maximum flexibility for a wide range of applications.
