Carton-based packaging solutions for new target groups and products were the focus of a collaborative project, linking the expertise of the rlc packaging group I with the creativity of students at the Münster and Leipzig Universities of Applied Science.
Initiated and organized by the German Packaging Institute (dvi) in Berlin, “Pack Vision 2013-2014" created innovative solutions for smart packaging, Save Food, To-Go and easy opening and closing. The results are impressive and so the chances are good that the one or the other carton will be catching the eye at the POS in future.
For Rebecca Korte, Senior Product Manager at rlc packaging group I, task controller and sponsor of the PackVision project, expectations were met in full: "We are very pleased with the results. Some studies have served to confirm our own deeds and actions; others have brought about fresh and inspiring ideas. We have selected what we consider to be the best developments and will pursue these. "
Also, design expert Prof. Dipl.-Des. Steffen Schulz as leader of the team of the FH Münster is delighted with the project progress and results. "rlc was a competent, interested, motivating and reliable partner. Our students have received professional input and insight into the processes of industry. They were able to carry out their work in a realistic and customer-oriented manner and make important contacts. "
As project manager at the Leipzig UAS, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Eugen Herzau stated: "The tasks set by rlc were so interesting, practical and up to date, that the students worked on the projects with great enthusiasm. We could rely on the support of project partners at any time. The students were able to apply previously acquired knowledge when implementing projects, solving the tasks set in a goal-oriented team effort. "
One very positive conclusion is also not least drawn by Oliver Berndt, project manager for PackVision at the German Packaging Institute (dvi). "Since 2006, we have been initiating various cooperation projects bringing innovative business and creative input from the young talent sphere together under the label PackVision. In this way, we encourage the training of the top people of tomorrow and embed the packaging theme even more in design. To this year's partners, the rlc packaging group I, Münster UAS and Leipzig UAS I wish to express my appreciation and thanks for a job well done. The results show to a high degree that PackVision proves to be an absolute win-win situation for everyone involved."
