Swiss Packaging Award 2024: Submission extended
Companies have until February 28 to enter their innovative projects into the race for the most prestigious prize in the Swiss packaging industry.
The submission window for the Swiss Packaging Award 2024 has been extended by one week until February 28, 2024. The reason, according to the organizers: Empack has shown that there are still many innovations that have not yet found their way to the Swiss Packaging Award.
The competition is open to innovative packaging, packaging aids, displays (product-carrying systems, presentation elements) as well as packaging and packaging systems that have been developed, designed, manufactured or distributed by Swiss companies or persons or by foreign companies or persons that have introduced their entries to the Swiss market. Several packages may be submitted per entrant.
Young talent wanted!
Young talents are also called upon to enter their packaging ideas in the Swiss Packaging Award: For pupils and students, participation is free of charge. They will be judged by the jury in the corresponding category. The prerequisite is that the products have not been launched on the market.
The Swiss Packaging Award is presented in the categories: Sustainability, Convenience, Design, Marketing, Technology / Construction / Machine Systems and, as a new category, Reusable Packaging / Systems. There is also the Young Talent Award and the Audience Award as special categories. The special jury prize will also be awarded. Here, the members of the jury award prizes for what they consider to be outstanding submissions. Packaging of all materials is eligible for the competition. The focus is on promoting and recognizing holistic packaging solutions, regardless of the packaging material. In a judging process lasting two days, a jury of 16 experts will nominate up to three packages per category, from which a winner will be chosen.
Consumers choose the public winner online
The winner of the Public's Choice Award will not be decided by a jury of experts, but by consumers: they will use e-voting to choose their favorite packaging of the year. The public vote will take place from March 1 to April 15, 2024. The award ceremony will be held on June 6.
