Award winners represent some of the most innovative packaging
breakthroughs in technology, user experience and responsible
packaging.
Today, Dow announced the winners of the 2019 Packaging
Innovation Awards, which recognize the packaging industry’s top
achievements in innovative packaging design, materials,
technologies and processes.
The highest honor, the Diamond Award, went to Dai Nippon
Printing Co., Ltd., Packaging Division’s DNP Functional Film
Complex PET plastic bottle, an environmentally conscious and
brand-friendly bottle alternative that offers a distinct glass-like
appearance due to a peelable outer layer which can act as an oxygen
barrier when combined with PET. Currently, many beverage bottles
are made with glass because of its barrier properties and sense of
luxury, despite its heavier weight and higher risk of breakage.
Glass often shatters while its collected or when its sorted, and
its residue can contaminate other products that could otherwise be
recycled. The PET plastic bottle retains all the qualities
consumers love about glass bottles— the feel and sense of
luxury—while creating a recyclable, lightweight and virtually
unbreakable product.
“This year we received a record-breaking number of submissions
for innovative, forward-thinking packaging designs from around the
world,” said Diego Donoso, business president for Dow Packaging
& Specialty Plastics. “Congratulations to all of the 2019
winners. I’m continually impressed by the world-class innovations
that we see year after year.”
The 2019 Packaging Innovation Awards hosted by Dow, previously
known as the DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation, is now in its
31st year, and is the industry’s longest-running independently
judged packaging awards program. Each year, the judging panel
consists of professionals from around the world in a wide range of
fields, including design, engineering, retail, converting and
academia.
“It’s an honor to be part of an event that’s dedicated to
independently seeking out the best packaging innovations regardless
of location and application,” said lead judge David Luttenberger,
global packaging director for Mintel Group, Ltd. “I’m truly
impressed by this year’s winners and excited to see so many
companies from all over the world constantly innovating to meet
changing consumer demands and sustainable practices.”
The judges evaluated nearly 250 entries from companies in more
than 30 countries. In addition to the Diamond Award, the judges
