A jury of international experts was convinced by the new carton, which combines an unusual shape with exceptional functionality.
The Beverage Innovation Award recognises outstanding innovations in the categories Beverages, Brand and Business, Ingredients, Packaging, Sustainability, and Marketing & Communication.
Since 2003, the coveted prize has been awarded annually by FoodBev.com. This year, 370 applications were submitted by manufacturers and suppliers in the beverage and liquid food industry from 40 countries.
Hanno Bertling, global product manager for Combidome at SIG Combibloc, accepted the award for Combidome at an event at the Drinktec trade fair, where he expressed his delight: “The Beverage Innovation Award makes us very proud. For us, the verdict of the highly regarded expert jury is a confirmation that Combidome is something totally new and unprecedented, and is perceived as such in professional circles.
“With Combidome, we’ve brought out a new packaging solution that combines the best features of a bottle with the best features of a carton pack. This carton pack is as easy to use as a bottle. At the same time, it protects beverages as only a carton can. In addition, Combidome has all the environmental benefits that make a beverage carton unique in the packaging mix.”
