Luxe Pack in Green
The 2013 Luxe Pack in Green award was awarded to ZRP Printing Group for its folding box design. This design reduces the material used by two thirds and the production cycle as no gluing operations are required also making recycling easier. This structure is not only more practical to package the product but also allows greater flexibility in product presentation creating an enjoyable consumer experience.
The jury was constituted of Damien Parenteau, Purchasing and Development Director of Chanel China, Cécile Lochard, founder of Citizen Luxury, Lawrence Law, CEO of Johnnie Walker House China, Frédéric Libermann, CEO of Yves Rocher China, Jianxin Hua, Professor at the Art and Design Academy of the University of Tsinghua, and Li Huang, Chief Editor of the magazine Package & Design.
The next edition of Luxe Pack Shanghai will be held on the 16 and 17 April 2014.
