Detmold Packaging has taken home five design and packaging awards for the work it has done at LaunchPad – its innovative centres for research and development based in Australia and China.
The first accolade was a 2015 Good Design Award for Detmold’s creation of the Qantas dinner box – Australia’s first ovenable board carton designed to hold pre-cooked meals which are then baked onboard.
The dinner box was created by Detmold LaunchPad’s industrial designer and Young Australian Designer of the Year 2014 Max Hughes, as well as Detmold LaunchPad’s group product manager Andrew Good.
The duo designed the piece to reduce the packaging of in-flight meals, enhance portion sizes and create efficiency in serving guests of Qantas.
The Australian Packaging Covenant also presented Detmold with its Sustainable Packaging Design Award in 2015, recognising its performance in designing packaging that achieves significant sustainability improvements.
Detmold’s entry into the 2015 National Print Awards led to three accolades. A gold medal was given for the Chandler’s Pet Litter bag in the wide format, flexible substrate division, and a bronze for the same product in the packaging category. High quality print was achieved on the technically challenging brown kraft material.
A further bronze medal was awarded in the wide format, flexible substrate division for the White Wings Heritage Flour design.
