About the German Packaging Award
The German Packaging Award is an international competition that is open to all industries and materials. It is Europe’s biggest showcase for packaging achievements, organized under the patronage of the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy. The award is presented annually by the German Packaging Institute (dvi) in recognition of innovative and creative solutions – from seemingly small but ground‐breaking details to fundamentally new concepts. The German Packaging Award is aimed at designers, developers, manufacturers and users of packaging solutions and machines as well as at the industry’s creative young talents. Award winners are also entitled to a nomination for the WorldStar hosted by the World Packaging Organisation (WPO). www.packagingaward.de
About the German Packaging Institute (dvi)
The German Packaging Institute (dvi) was founded in 1990. It connects people in many different industries across the entire packaging value chain – from engineering through all segments of the packaging and consumer goods industry as well as retailers and brands to recycling – always with the aim of initiating innovative and sustainable approaches. The dvi stands up for the issues that matter most to the packaging industry, irrespective of its members’ particular business or materials, and refuses to be drawn into ideological debates. It brings packaging into the public eye and lends objectivity to discussions that are often tainted by prejudice and false clichés. Its information about what packaging does and the people who make or use it is founded firmly on facts. The German Packaging Award, the German Packaging Congress, the Packaging Day, the Dresden Packaging Conference, the Packaging Academy, the Forum Packaging Strategies, the dvi Students’ Convention and the PackVision youth project are just some of the initiatives launched by the dvi. www.verpackung.org/en
