Lars Sandberg
CEO, Blue Ocean Closures
The Packnorth Award creates value for us and is about finding that little extra, that which makes packaging something more than just packaging. It is a place where ideas are born, where future talents and concepts get a chance to step forward and show what they can do. And then there’s the thing about being seen, at Scanpack or Empack, in front of the whole industry. That is big. It is important. And it’s exactly what we need to drive innovation forward.
Erik Blix
CEO, Nordic Carton
We at Nordic Carton see it as a matter of priority to participate in a competition that highlights Swedish packaging development. With a focus on sustainability and innovative design in several interesting categories, we see that the Packnorth Award increases interest in packaging in general and is a welcome contribution to the Swedish packaging scene. Nordic Carton looks forward with optimism to the 2025 edition of the competition.
