Clear Choice Award Winners Put on a Show at PACK EXPO
Winners of the 21st Annual Clear Choice Awards were featured in The Showcase of Packaging Innovations® at PACK EXPO International 2010 in Chicago. This year’s Clear Choice Awards recognized ten consumer product goods companies and their achievements in expanding the frontiers of glass packaging design.
“The winning package designs demonstrate that glass continues to be the ‘clear choice’ for consumers who want a package that provides a premium feel and also protects the products they are buying,” said Joseph Cattaneo, president of the Glass Packaging Institute, which sponsors the Clear Choice Awards. “PACK EXPO provides the perfect venue to highlight and honor the creativity and innovation embodied by these winning designs.”
The Clear Choice Award Winners were featured on the cover of Package Design’s October 2010 issue, which was handed out throughout PACK EXPO. One of the themes for this year’s PACK EXPO was “food safety,” with glass products being prominently featured in many of the displays.
More than 45,000 attendees from major consumer and industrial goods companies, representing more than 110 countries, were at this year’s PACK EXPO. Participants were able to see the latest machinery and materials, technologies and trends to give them a competitive edge in the global marketplace. They also had a chance to meet with suppliers and partners who offer innovations and solutions that may improve their efficiency and productivity.
Since 1989, the Clear Choice Awards has honored consumer product goods manufacturers who expand the frontiers of glass packaging design by using glass containers in innovative ways. It is the only Awards program that recognizes the contribution glass packaging makes to the image and success of everyday products. From sparkling water to salsa, baby food to bottled fruit juices, beer to flavored rums, pasta sauce to pickles, the Clear Choice Awards are presented to products that triumph in glass.
