Beating over 300 other entries from across the globe 42 University students from RMIT, the University of New South Wales and Monash University have elevated the region by taking out the third highest amount of WorldStar Student awards in the late round of the prestigious competition.
The global recognition saw the students receive one Bronze overall best in show, two Silver category awards (household and food packaging) and nineteen Certificates of Merit. This is a record year for Australian students and a testament to the effort that the Australasian Institute of Packaging (AIP) puts into the next generation of packaging professionals.
The projects and packaging designs created came from AIP led projects on beverage packaging for carbonated products, save food packaging design and sustainable packaging design.
The AIP education team works with the students on their projects and their design work throughout the semester and then they are encouraged to enter the Australasian Packaging Innovation & Design (PIDA) Student Awards.
Only winners from the PIDA student awards are then eligible to exclusively enter the WorldStar Student awards for Australia and New Zealand.
