The Netherlands packaging award scheme De Gouden Noot has begun its search for innovation in packaged products and packaging.
The competition run by the NVC Netherlands Packaging Centre is open to any company that has introduced packaging or packaged products on the Benelux market in 2008 or 2009, or plans to do so in 2010.
Retailers, producers of packaged products, design agencies or packaging suppliers can enter alone or with a partner.
Finalists’ innovations will be seen during Empack Brussels, 29-30 September 2010 and at Emballage 2010 in Paris between 22 and 25 November.
The award ceremony takes place in Utrecht at the start of Macropak (5-8 October) and the 10 finalists will be published in the EPIC European Packaging Directory 2011 launched at Interpack Duesseldor.
The deadline for submissions is 31 May 2010. Entry forms can be obtained from Ger Standhardt at g.standhardt@nvc.nl or call +31(0)182 512411.
