The golden egg beckons for the 50th anniversary
Winners receive the golden egg as a unique award
To mark the anniversary, SVI President Philippe Dubois and SVI Managing Director Stephan Bitterlin thought about what could make the 50th Swiss Packaging Award special. And came up with the gold award. "The golden egg is only awarded this year. As a company, I therefore have the chance to receive an award that is unique," says Philippe Dubois. To ensure that all packaging has the same chances, the golden Swiss Packaging Award will be presented in all categories, and the SVI is also taking the anniversary as an opportunity to modernize itself. For the first time, registration for the Swiss Packaging Award will be handled online. This will make it easier for participants to submit their packaging solutions and manage their competition entries.
About the competition
Innovative packaging as well as packaging and packaging systems developed, designed, manufactured or distributed by Swiss companies or persons or by foreign companies or persons who have launched their entries on the Swiss market are eligible. Each entrant may submit several items of packaging.
Prizes in eight categories
The Swiss Packaging Award is presented in the categories of sustainability, convenience, design, marketing, technology and construction. There are also special awards for young talent and the public. Packaging of all materials is eligible for the competition. The focus is on promoting and honoring holistic packaging solutions, regardless of the packaging material. Up to three packaging solutions are nominated per category, from which a winner is selected. Pupils and students can enter their packaging solution for the Young Talent Award free of charge and it will be assessed by the jury according to the relevant category.
Wanted: Innovative packaging solutions
The Swiss Packaging Award stands for innovative and forward-looking packaging solutions in Switzerland. Participants benefit from the opportunity to present themselves as a company to a broad public. Taking part is even more worthwhile in the anniversary year: a win or nomination brings the company a great deal of attention, confirms its own performance and motivates its employees. All award-winning and nominated packaging and the companies or individuals involved may use the official Swiss Packaging Awards logo. Winning packaging also qualifies for the World Star, the international competition of the World Packaging Organization (WPO).
Consumers choose the public winner online
The Packaging Innovations Audience Award is presented in addition to the Swiss Packaging Award. The winner is not decided by a jury of experts, but by consumers: they use e-voting to choose their favorite packaging of the year. A very special award for the participating companies!
