The Australian Packaging Design Awards puts a spotlight on companies who are “imaginative, innovative and creative in producing packaging of a high standard.” If that company is yours, winning one has to be good for business. 

It is run by The Packaging Council of Australia (PCA). This is the national packaging association representing companies right across the packaging supply chain, which makes the awards even better for business, does it not?

Participating in the awards has helped companies to launch new products into the market, improve their corporate positioning, increase their business profile and build media and brand awareness on a national and international scale.

The Creative Method founder and creative director, Tony Ibbotson, explains why – and growth is not the problem. 

Victorian-based Aquafab has completed a $620,000 Series A raise through Birchal, supported by over 300 investors. The company told Food & Drink Business that the funds will support continued national growth and plans in place to enter the US and UK markets this year.
