Published: May 28, 2015

 MILAN, ITALY | The WorldStar Awards, presented only to those packages that have already won recognition in a national competition, were announced May 19 at IPACK-IMA in Milan.

Tom Schneider, president of the World Packaging Organisation, organizers of the event, says, “When you win a WorldStar Award you become part of a bigger process and part of pushing the envelope of packaging and that’s what we need to make packaging more valuable to people. Better quality of life, for more people through better packaging is the World Packaging Organisation’s motto. The Worldstar Awards embody that concept.”

Locked4Kids BV won Gold in the President’s Award. The carton by Ecobliss is reported to be the World’s first child resistant carton certified against both ISO/EN 8317 and US 16 CRF 1700.20 standard.

GrandsMoulinsd’Israel/Studio Batshi won Gold in the Marketing Award category for its series of retro style flour packaging. The Del Valle Reserva in Tetra Prisma Aseptic 10000 took the Gold Award in Sustainability with bio-based packaging—said to be the packaging industry’s first in a carton.
