Young German packaging designers have a particularly good chance of having their creations honoured this year. For the first time, the European \u201ePro Carton Young Designers Award\u201c competition is also being organised for Germany.<\/p>\n

The announcement of the additional German Design Award is made possible by the cooperation of the European Association of the Cartonboard Industry<\/strong> with the German Folding Carton Industry Association<\/strong> (FFI). German participants therefore have a double chance of winning. They automatically take part in the German and European \u201eYoung Designers Award\u201c. Two juries will also decide on the awards.<\/p>\n

Entries can be submitted in four categories until mid-May 2018. There are two categories for \u201eCreative Cartonboard Packaging\u201c - one for food packaging made of cartonboard, the other for non-food packaging. The third category is called \u201eCreative Cartonboard Ideas<\/strong>\u201c. Here, participants are called upon to be creative in their use of cardboard beyond packaging. Finally, the \u201eSave the planet\u201c category is all about packaging that conserves materials and resources as much as possible.<\/p>

On the subject of \u201eResource-saving packaging<\/strong>\u201c, which has been organised for more than 15 years Pro-Carton<\/strong>-competition and the \u201eBetter with less - Design Challenge\u201c organised by the Finnish carton manufacturer Mets\u00e4 Board<\/strong>, which started last autumn and ended at the end of March. Pro Carton regularly co-operates with the competitions of its partners and members, explains Pro Carton Marketing Advisor Suzanne Mc Ewen when asked by \u201epackaging journal\u201c. The student entries from the partner competitions, such as that of Mets\u00e4 Board, also take part in the \u201eYoung Designers Award\u201c. This \u201eaward co-operation\u201c offers young packaging designers the opportunity to attract even more public attention with their own designs.<\/p>\n

Well thought-out pattern: this cardboard packaging won a prize at the \u201eYoung Design Award 2017\u201c. It can be used to eat chips with a dip out of your hand, for example. (Image: Pro Carton)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Growing interest in the young talent competitions<\/h2>\n

In general, Pro Carton is pleased that the competition is becoming increasingly popular. According to McEwen, more than 40 design schools and universities took part last year. Pro Carton supports the participants by providing publications and, above all, cartonboard materials for the design work. Workshops are also organised together with experts from member companies.<\/p>
