The 2025 Labelling & Decoration Design award recognises the addition of content to a pack which creates a unique or innovative appearance, function or communication.
This may include labels, sleeves, tags, coding/markings, etching, directly applied inks or by any other similar process.
And the winners are...
The Bronze award went to Jiffy Padded Lite mailer by Amazon Australia and Sealed Air Australia; while the Silver award went to Certified Compostable FSC Paper Beer BioCups by BioPak.
And, taking home the Gold award, was Carman's Gourmet Snack Mix by Carman's Fine Foods and Zipform Packaging.
About the Gold winner:
The packaging chosen for Carman’s new gourmet snack mix is a linear formed composite pack that is kerbside recyclable in Australia and is a first for this type of product in the region.
The unique Australian manufactured packaging is over 90 per cent fibre content, and 60 per cent locally sourced post-consumer recycled content.
The packaging is designed to sit perfectly on shelf in the retail stores and stands out versus the competition due to the nature of the pack.
The Gourmet Snack Mix graphics are all different and the packs are sealed with a clear film and have a generic clear PET stackable overcap.
As this is a snacking product, the 73mm diameter x 80mm high pack size is a perfect fit for a car console. The stackable overcap facilitates packs being able to be stacked in the cupboard/pantry, and if needed, a positive engagement for reclose.
The Australasian Recycling Label (ARL) is on the packaging and ensures that consumers understand how to dispose of the pack at end of life.
