Berlin Packaging excelled at the 2021 National Association of Container Distributors (NACD) packaging competition, receiving 14 awards, the most given to a single supplier. The NACD Awards celebrate the year's most innovative packaging solutions. Including these latest victories, Berlin Packaging has now earned more than 90 NACD medals in nine years.
Winning two gold, eight silver, and four bronze awards, Berlin Packaging demonstrated innovation and excellence in nine categories.
The awards highlight Berlin Packaging’s commitment to world-class design, with over half attributed to the company’s in-house design agency, Studio One Eleven. The Studio offers custom structural package design and branding services at no charge in exchange for packaging supply opportunities.
Some of this year’s winning projects include:
• Fid Street Gin – Dual-Award Recipient, Custom Packaging and Spirits Beverage Packaging. To make this Hawaiian brand mainstream on the mainland, Studio One Eleven’s structural designers evoked a sense of the islands with a one-of-a-kind bottle. The custom tinted turquoise glass suggests cool refreshment while alluding to the sea with a hammered, rippled texture.
• Food God Truffle Ketchup – Dual-Award Recipient, Stock Components and Food Packaging. Breaking into the culinary space is no easy feat, especially when it comes to classic condiments. To get noticed by both retailers and consumers, Berlin Packaging sourced the perfect stock container, a 250ml bottle with 43mm lug neck finish and metal lug cap.
• Pravana Pure Light – Personal Care. Traditional hair color powders come in large, bulky tubs that can be hard to store and even harder to handle. Studio One Eleven’s design team created a unique, sleek package that utilizes an easy-to-grip bottle with simplified pour-and-measure dispensing that saves both time and space.
Other Berlin Packaging winners are:
• Ricca Hand Sanitizer – Chemical
• Super Microbe – Chemical
• Stumptown Cold Brew Coffee – Beverage, Non-Spirits
• Heaven’s Door Bootleg – Beverage, Spirits
• Blanton’s Bourbon-Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup – Food
• Agriston Olive Oil – Food
• Live Clean Shampoo – Personal Care
• BJ’s Raw Pet Food – Pet & Vet
• CloSYS – Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical
“We are proud of yet another strong showing at this year’s NACD awards,” said Rick Brandt, chief commercial officer of Berlin Packaging. “To be recognized for our creativity, innovation, and dedication to finding the best solutions for our customers is the ultimate reward.”
