As gold sponsors of LibanPack’s student packaging competition, Unipak and MASTERPAK are encouraging development in the packaging industry.
The Lebanese Packaging Center (LibanPack) hosted its annual student packaging contest in UNESCO Palace, Beirut, Lebanon on 22 March 2011. Under the patronage of the Lebanese Minister of Industry, Abraham Dedeyan, Lebanon Student Star Pack 2011 encouraged creativity in the packaging industry by providing a forum for students to present new innovative packaging to industry professionals.
The event recognized the best student packaging designs under each of three categories: Visual (uplifting/creation of label designs), structural (innovative and functionally interesting packaging designs), and nougat and “Malban” packaging.[1]
Winners received cash prizes ranging from $ 300 – $ 1000.Last year’s success resulted in a wider scope for this year’s contest with Jordan and Syria participating.[2]
