Two classical objectives clearly dominated the development of this carton from the beginning: high visual attractiveness and a real added benefit. The silhouette was to remind of an Easter Egg, and the customer did not want any plastic packaging at all, but a one hundred percent sustainable concept. This solution was chosen from the four presented structural designs – an unusual design with attractive graphics and which can be erected automatically.
The secondary packaging for chocolates is made from materials which are also exceptionally well suited for foods – and replaces the plastic packaging normally used. The cartonboard chicks can also be used as toys or for holding pencils, paper clips or the like on a desk. The high attraction level at the Point of Sale, also for a young audience, fully met the customer’s expectations.
Jury Comments
