The 97th World Packaging Organ­iz­a­tion Board meeting took place in Vienna on November 14, 2016. The jury judged numerous entries from 35 countries for the “World Star Award 2017” in this period. Among the inter­na­tional prize winners is Schiet­tinger KG, the main Göppingen plant of the Schiet­tinger Group.

The company was successful with the “Beam-Box” sales packaging, which was awarded the “German Packaging Award” back in 2015 and the “Pro Carton Sustain­ab­ility Award” in 2016. The jury was impressed by the high recog­ni­tion effect of the trian­gular-shaped packaging. The trian­gular packaging perfectly picks suits the Varta logo and thus contrib­utes to the quick recog­ni­tion of the brand at POS.

The “World Star Award” is presented annually by the WPO-World Packaging Organ­iz­a­tion. The WPO consists of packaging insti­tutes, associ­ations and feder­a­tions and is a non-profit organ­isa­tion. The award ceremony took place during “Inter­pack” in May 2017 in Düsseldorf.
