A series of case studies compiled by the AIP showcases companies that were recognised for use of innovative packaging. Coca Cola was awarded gold in the retail pack category.

The AIP is pleased to advise that is has developed a series of best practice award-winning examples of innovative sustainable packaging design from across Australia and New Zealand.

All of the case studies have been recognised in the annual Australasian Packaging Innovation & Design (PIDA) Awards and over 95 per cent have gone on to receive global recognition for their innovative sustainable packaging designs through the WorldStar Packaging Awards.

Some of the ANZ winners have also received WorldStar Sustainable Packaging Special Awards; which is the most prestigious award in the world.

The AIP encourages everyone to use these case studies as best practice examples from across Australia and New Zealand and an opportunity to take some of the learnings for your own sustainable packaging design projects.
