Clear Choice Awards Call for Entries 2010
“Designing and packaging in glass ensures that your product has the competitive edge, as more and more consumers are demanding glass for its pure, recyclable, and premium characteristics,” says Joseph Cattaneo, president of the Glass Packaging Institute. “Glass containers continue to lead the pack in providing the aesthetics consumers want in a ‘green’ package.”
When you design a product in glass, you’re giving consumers the total package. Foods and beverages packaged in glass are safe for you, and the environment. By using glass, you’re telling your customers you know that the container is just as important as the product within. With glass, you create a package that boasts shelf impact and builds brand loyalty. Here’s your chance to be recognized for all of your hard work! Enter now to receive industry-wide recognition as a leader in the world of glass packaging design.
