Swiss Packaging Award 2023: 18 packaging nominated
The nominees for the 2023 Swiss Packaging Award have been announced. Eighteen packaging solutions across five categories and two special awards are in the running for the Swiss Packaging Award. The winners will be announced on June 1, 2023. The award’s organizing body, the Swiss Packaging Institute (SVI), will present the prizes at the AHA Aarau.
A total of 48 packaging solutions were submitted by 34 different participants. These included four entries for the young talent award, in which schoolchildren and students can present their packaging ideas. The Special Jury Prize, awarded for the first time, is given by the jury for outstanding packaging.
The sustainability category was once again particularly well represented with 27 entries, reflecting the demands of the times: packaging companies are under enormous pressure to develop recyclable and reusable packaging, especially in the plastics sector. The large number of entries shows that the Swiss packaging industry is doing its homework.
With the Swiss Packaging Award, the Swiss Packaging Institute honors outstanding achievements in packaging every year. The aim of the competition is to showcase the creativity and innovative strength of the Swiss packaging industry.
Companies can submit their packaging solutions in the categories of sustainability, convenience, design, marketing, technology / design / machine solutions. A maximum of three packaging solutions will be nominated per category, one of which will be chosen as the winner. Packaging of all materials is eligible for the competition. The focus is on promoting and awarding holistic packaging solutions, regardless of the packaging material. The special jury prize was introduced as a new feature this year.
