Retail packaging
Classical primary packaging, which serves as the actual product packaging and, through this connection, significantly influences the purchase decision of the consumer.
Transport packaging
Packaging which is primarily intended for the transport and storage of freight and goods of any kind and besides fitness for use serves practicability and cost reduction.
Display- and promotional packaging
Marketing aids, tent cards and similar, for which especially the design quality and innovation of the product presentation is evaluated.
Design, presentation and refinement
Especially labels, fasteners, decorations, improved handling, packing aids and also packaging lines.
Prototypes
Packaging ideas, that are still in the design phase and not yet placed on the market due to e.g. lack of contacts or insufficient publicity.
Young talent award (students, trainees and pupils)
New packaging ideas by students, trainees and pupils.
Machine technology
The available machine technology determines today more than ever packaging innovations. This applies to the use of new technologies for improvement of quality and efficiency in the packaging process. Other than stated last year, from now on all packaging machine engineers and suppliers are also called to participate in the German packaging award every year. In the category “machine technology” complete lines, entire machines, devices and aids, tools as well as constructive details can be submitted for evaluation. The submitted documentation must be recognisable and assessable as “machine technology” for the specially appointed jury. This can take place e.g. through a short film, through an operational model, a technical drawing, an excerpt from the manual, patents or photos of installations with respective description and the completed application form for machine technology.
