The NACD Awards Committee has announced the winners of the 2013 Annual NACD Package Awards Competition. Judging for the 50th Annual competition was held on March 7, 2013, in Chicago.
Judges examined, rated, and evaluated packages in seven categories, based on packaging innovation, sustainability, graphics, decoration, shape, closure, texture, ease-of-use, consumer appeal, and technical merit.
Winners were honored during the NACD 2013 Annual Convention at the Barton Creek Resort & Spa in Austin, TX. Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards were presented to the top three containers in the following categories: Best Use of Stock Components; Beverage; Cosmetic & Personal Care; Drug & Pharmaceutical; Food; General Industrial; Household Chemical & Automotive; Novelty; and Pet & Vet.
Other awards presented include the Bernard M. Seid Best of Show, and the NACD People’s Choice Award.
The Best of Show award is named as memorial to Bernard M. Seid, a valuable contributor to NACD and innovator in the industry, as well as a leader in the development of the NACD Package Awards program.
