Glass

Beech-Nut Baby Food
submitted by O-I
brand owner: Beech-Nut
The new line of baby food offers a natural purity for parents who want to feed their babies simple and nutritious ingredients. Beech-Nut wanted to create an impression at point of sale and focused on ergonomics, spoonability and graphics. The honey-pot shape makes the jar easier to hold and reach the food at the bottom of the package, while the use of glass aids in sustainability and food safety. www.o-i.com

Nature’s Care
submitted by CBX

Hoist
submitted by ScorCreative at Amcor
brand owner: Kelly Heekin
Hoist is a true isotonic beverage, which means that it rehydrates faster and more effectively. The previous package was short, stout and easily overlooked, so the brand decided to redesign. A gender-neutral package that conveys fitness and positive, proactive attributes was created. The 16oz package with ergonomic grips is designed to the height of competitors' 20oz packages, allowing for a leaner offering that exudes a similar size impression. www.amcor.com

Paperboard

Quaker Oats Real Medleys
submitted by H.B. Fuller
brand owner: PepsiCo
The redesignd packaging for the Quaker Real Medleys single-serve oatmeal replaces a two-piece tray and cover, which had to be packed manually, with a standard one-piece RSC case that uses a fully-integrated H.B. Fuller Open-Sesame tear tape system. The easy-open capabilities of the tape system are designed to create a clean edge without using perforations, which can weaken packaging. It enabled the design team to reduce material used by 35 percent while maintaining the compression strength provided by the previous two-piece design. This lighter case performs well under extreme conditions and meets retailers’ needs for an attractive, shelf-ready display. www.hbfuller.com/north-america

Editor’s Award Winner

American Born Moonshine
submitted by Flowdesign
brand owner: Windy Hill Spirits
American Born Moonshine wants to be a brand that embodies the essence of the American rebel spirit: one that challenges what is possible to define the ever-evolving American Dream. Everything about the design, packaging and product is built in the USA. The traditional mason jar looks and feels like it was taken out of a wooden crate filled with straw in Appalachia during prohibition. The lid allows bartenders to remove the cork and use a regulated pour spout, or it can be screwed off entirely. www.flow-design.com
