Before submitting your entry
The competition is open to anyone who has designed, engineered, or manufactured packaging solutions used in any of the Nordic countries.
There is no limit to how many entries a company may submit.
A package may not enter the competition again if it has previously won in a category in the Packnorth Award.
The jury first looks at the packaging’s core function, protecting and preserving the contents, but also considers how well the packaging meets today’s requirements and expectations regarding the environment, climate impact, and sustainability.
When assessing the entries, the jury pays extra attention to:
- Material choices and recyclability
- Packaging complexity
- Mono-material solutions and design for circularity
- Share of recycled content
- Safety, hygiene, and food-contact standards
- Weight and volume efficiency
- EU requirements under the PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation)
- Environmental and product labels/certifications
