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.
