Berlin Packaging, a leading full-service supplier of plastic, glass, and metal containers and closures, announced that its packaging solutions had a strong showing at the 2014 NACD (National Association of Container Distributors) Packaging Awards ceremony.
The company's seven awards -- three Gold, two Silver and two Bronze -- were among the highest number won by any supplier.
"Once again, the Berlin Packaging team demonstrated the creativity and problem-solving acumen that place us at the forefront of the industry," said Andrew T. Berlin, Chairman and CEO of Berlin Packaging.
The NACD Packaging Awards is a national competition recognizing compelling packaging released during the previous year. In addition to rivaling its company-record three Gold awards from last year.
Berlin Packaging also swept the Household Chemical & Automotive category, winning Gold, Silver and Bronze, and took both Gold and Silver in the Food category. Specific results included:
E6000 Spray Adhesive (Gold, General Industrial) changed the expectations for spray adhesives used for craft and home improvement products. Berlin created an hourglass-shaped PET container appropriate for customer Eclectic's pioneering solvent-free adhesive.
Libman Freedom Floor Cleaner (Gold, Household Chemical & Automotive) delivers both innovation and convenience to busy consumers through a translucent measuring bowl atop the bottle.
Morton Sea Salt (Gold, Food), in a first for grocery-store salt and pepper grinders, is designed to sit on the dinner table like upscale giftware with no conspicuous brand label. The package features a custom white or black snap-on overcap with a non-removable grinder beneath.
Glutino Instant Pancake Mix (Silver, Food) is a custom package accommodating Glutino's gluten-free, single-use, just-add-water-to-the-bottle pancake mix.
Polaris 2 Cycle Engine Oil (Silver, Household Chemical & Automotive) mirrors Polaris' snowmobiles and ATVs, which look like they're in perpetual motion.
LemiShine Rinse (Bronze, Household Chemical & Automotive) not only makes a bold premium statement on the shelf, but it also allows direct-squeeze dispensing.
OFF! Pet Insect Repellents (Bronze, Pet & Vet; also honored for Best Use of Stock), SC Johnson's first line of Off! insect repellents for pets, were creatively configured to achieve a family look familiar to users of the brand's made-for-human products.
