Participants benefit from the opportunity to present themselves as a company to a broad public. Taking part is worthwhile: a win or nomination brings the company a high level of attention and also confirms its own performance and motivates its employees. All award-winning and nominated packaging and the companies or individuals involved (developers, designers, manufacturers, clients) may use the official logo. Furthermore, the award-winning packaging can take part in the World Star, the competition of the World Packaging Organization (WPO).Consumers also voteIn addition to the Swiss Packaging Award, the Audience Award is also presented. Here, it is not the jury but the consumers who decide on their packaging of the year. The result of the public vote also provides information about the preferences and motivation of consumers. This can also be used by companies as an indicator for future developments. Voting for the public's choice award starts in July 2015. Information is available at www.swisspackagingaward.ch to find.
