First in Glass! 2011 Clear Choice Award Winners Announced
The Glass Packaging Institute presents the winners of its 2011 Clear Choice Awards. This year, 10 consumer product goods companies were recognized for their achievements in creating innovative glass packages with shelf impact. Entries were judged on innovation, package design (including container, label, and closure), and consumer appeal by judges from the world of design and printing, packaging trade press, and packaging schools.
“These winning package designs demonstrate that glass continues to be the ‘clear choice’ for consumers who want a package that complements today’s healthy and environmentally-conscious lifestyles,” says Lynn Bragg, President of the GPI, who notes that glass is one of the “greenest” packaging choices, being 100 percent and endlessly recyclable. “Additionally, nothing communicates purity, quality and value to consumers like a well-designed glass package.”
All 2011 Clear Choice Awards winners receive benefit from industry-wide recognition and brand building media coverage. And winning products will be displayed at PACK EXPO 2011 in Las Vegas, September 26-28, 2011. And new this year, it’s your turn to vote for your favorite. This year’s Clear Choice Awards’ People’s Choice will be announced during PACK EXPO 2011. Cast your vote on Facebook through September 28th.
Awards were given in the following categories: beer, wine, food, carbonated beverage, non-carbonated beverage, organic food or beverage, distilled spirits, flavored alcoholic beverage, cosmetics or fragrances and conversion recognition (products that have been converted to glass packaging from other forms of packaging).
