JS: This package is a great example of how you don’t necessarily have to sacrifice cost, sustainability, or effi- ciency to make something different. Quip, along with many modern brands, is looking for ways to stand out from its competition. However, the perception is often that too many sacrifices to other areas of the business would be needed. We have found that when clients take the time to evaluate options and partner with their vendors, it can lead to innovative and amazing results. The Quip Rev package demonstrates what can hap- pen when brands and packaging partners take the time to challenge assumptions. Rather than treating cost, sus- tainability, and differentiation as competing priorities, the project approached them as interconnected design prob- lems, resulting in a solution that improved shelf presence, reduced material use, and streamlined manufacturing. That kind of innovation is exactly what the Paperboard Packaging Competition celebrates. If your team devel- oped a package this past year that demonstrates excep- tional craftsmanship, sustainability, or structural ingenuity, we encourage you to share it with the industry. Submissions for the 83rd Annual Paperboard Pack- aging Competition are now open. Entries close May 15. Submit your best work and join the industry leaders rec- ognized on the PPC stage this fall: https://paperbox.org/ programs/carton-competition/.
