Smurfit-Stone wins award

Smurfit-Stone Container Corp. earned two awards at the 61st annual National Paperboard Packaging Council, becoming only the second company to win both honors with a single package design.

Feb 29, 2004

Competing against more than 240 entries, the Family Time Snacks Perfect Popper popcorn box won the PPC’s President’s Award and its Innovation Award. The package concept includes a flat paperboard carton with a pouch of microwave popcorn glued inside. The consumer only needs to “pop-up” the carton and microwave it. The carton fills with popcorn, the lid peels back, and it becomes an instant bowl.
