Southern cross packaging awards

Patrick and myself went down to Melbourne yesterday for the southern cross packaging awards dinner. The trip was a nice mission which was filled with lots of obstacles that were overcome in the end. On the night of the awards it showcased the best packaging designed in industry for the year. Having being exposed to such event was such a great experience.

The overall Showcase winners for the year in the industry category was the

"O-I’s Lean+Green™ lightweight wine bottle"

The wine bottle design saves almost 20,000 tonnes of glass packaging per annum. This also comes with major reductions in carbon emissions, waste, water costs, transportation costs and energy reduction.

Check out o-i's website for more details on their designs, it could help out on the current assignment in studio.
