Packaging innovations in food and beverage stood out at this month’s 27th annual DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation ceremony which honored companies from 11 countries. With nearly 140 entries from 25 countries, DuPont said this year’s competition will be remembered as the year of design since 77 percent of the winners were honored for design excellence in enhancing user experience.
Canada-based IPL, Inc. earned the program’s highest honor for its salsa container dubbed “SkinnyPack” technology. This mono-material package marries flexible and rigid packaging to create a thin, light, strong structure that uses less material, enables recycling and allows more message space.
