“Gaining New Momentum from Open Innovation.”

Food & Beverage Innovation Forum 2019 (FBIF 2019, for short) took a closer look at the progress and transformation of the food industry, and their accompanying packaging design competition called the Marking Awards did just the same.

Presented at FBIF 2019 in Hangzhou, China, the contest aims to speed up the industry’s packaging innovation and improve aesthetic standards, recognizing form and function. Judges from respected agencies and companies (including PepsiCo and Nestle) evaluated each entry on elements like originality, communication, and foresight, and each winner truly looks unlike any other in the competition. Convenient on-the-go tea packaging, conversation-starting gin bottles, humorous chip packs—if it’s packaging related to food or drink, it has a chance to stand out in the awards.
