In its 17th year, The Student Design Challenge continues to honor flexible packaging solutions developed by students. The challenge is to develop a flexible package solution that addresses a packaging issue, such as consumer convenience or the protection of food.
The package should advance the use of flexible packaging; make an improvement over an existing flexible package; convert a non-flexible package into a flexible package; or package a product that is not currently available in flexible packaging.
Students are asked to submit a concept outline prior to sending in the flexible packaging prototype/bench sample. The concept outline will be evaluated and when approved, students may then send in their prototype/bench sample.
The deadline to submit a concept outline is September 25, 2020. The student or team of students who develops the first place winning entry will receive $1,000 and the second place winning entry will receive $500.
