FPA Awards Student Packaging Design Winners The Flexible Packaging Association (FPA) has an- nounced the winners of the FPA 2022 Student Flex- ible Packaging Design Challenge. This year’s first and second place winners were teams of students from the University of Wisconsin – Stout under the direction of Gary Borges, lecturer. There was also one honorable mention awarded for the 2022 competition. FPA’s annual Achievement Awards competition recognizes innovative flexible packaging from across its membership. The FPA’s Emerging Leadership Council (ELC) oversees the Student Flexible Packaging Design Challenge and judged this year’s competition. The first-place winning team is comprised of Ben Boie, Aria Elfering, Payton Klaslo, Aaron Kurschner, and Connor Walechka from the University of Wis- consin – Stout for their “Pistachio Pal” package. A packaging concept for microwaveable ramen was the second place winner, also a team of stu- dents from the University of Wisconsin – Stout. Ethan Myers, Riley Runnels, Hayden Zachgo, and Hannah Zastrow, also under the direction of Gary Borges, designed a flexible packaging solution that spoke to consumers on the go. For the 2022 competition, FPA received 39 con- cept outlines from some of the top packaging de- sign programs across the United States. From the concept outlines submitted, 17 were selected to continue to the development phase. MCC Partners With Sol For Sun-Activated Labels Born under the Mexican sun in 1899, Sol is a brand with a strong heritage and a close association with sunshine. It is only natural that the beer in- corporates solar energy into its production process. The sun has always been the heart and soul of Sol and now it is able to harness its power. Following the installation of 9,212 solar panels on the roof of Zoeterwoude brewery in the Netherlands, solar power plays an important role in the production process of Sol. This is a milestone in the brand’s journey to reducing carbon emissions and becom- ing more sustainable. Brand owner Heineken partnered with MCC Cwmbran, UK, in search for a solution to communi- cate this important initiative to its consumers. With its strong link to the sun, the team at MCC had the solution in its photochromic label.
