At the FachPack exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany, the innovative carton pack has now been awarded the German Packaging Award (Deutscher Verpackungspreis) in the ‘Best Sales Packaging: Beverages’ category, which was this year handed out for the 50th time. The expert jury highlighted in particular the carton pack’s good pouring behaviour, and praised the optimised handling in terms of emptying out the product, compared to other beverage packaging solutions. The winner was Combidome, a bottle made of cardboard that combines the benefits of a carton pack in terms of product protection and environmental advantages.
Axel Meier, Head of Marketing Cluster Europe North, and Olivier Peterges, Development Engineer at SIG Combibloc, accepted this special prize for combidome at the award ceremony in Nuremberg.
"We’re thrilled that, after the Beverage Innovation Award, combidome has now also picked up the German Packaging Award. This demonstrates that our packaging innovation is a winner nationally and internationally. combidome is a genuinely innovative product that has huge potential to gain a real foothold in the beverage sector. That makes us very proud."
Combidome, the bottle made of cardboard from SIG Combibloc, combines the best features of a carton pack and the advantages of a bottle shape. With the centrally positioned closure and the carton pack’s special shape and stability, combidome handles like a bottle, but also offers all the proven and unrivalled benefits of a carton pack in terms of product protection and environmental advantages.
