WestRock Company was recognized for packaging design excellence at the 76th annual North American Paperboard Packaging Competition. The company won 13 awards – the most of any entrant – including the Sustainability Award of the Year. Sponsored by the Paperboard Packaging Council (PPC), the competition is judged by a panel of packaging experts.
The First Alert package produced by WestRock, which received the Sustainability Award of the Year, replaces a fully enclosed PET blister clamshell with a NatraLock blister card, a sturdy, flexible, more sustainable alternative to traditional blister seal and clamshell ap-plications.
“These winning designs represent the value we can provide our customers when we com-bine our market insights and commitment to sustainability with the design and innovation capabilities of our talented employees,” said Pat Lindner, chief innovation officer and president, Consumer Packaging for WestRock.
In addition to the Sustainability Award of the Year, WestRock received two Gold and 10 Excellence awards for a variety of packaging solutions. A full list is included below.
