2018 WorldStar Packaging Awards

Australia, Surfers Paradise, Queensland - May 2, 2018
The WorldStar Packaging Awards is the flagship event annually for the World Packaging Organisation (WPO) and is the pre-eminent international award in packaging. The WorldStar Packaging Awards illustrate the continual advancement of the state of packaging design and technology and creates a living standard of international packaging excellence from which others may learn. WorldStars are presented only to those packs which, having already won recognition in a national or regional competitions, are compared by an expert panel of judges to similar packs from around the world. In 2018 the AIP will be hosting the WorldStar Packaging Awards in Australia alongside of the AIP National Conference and PIDA Awards. You will be a part of a global awards dinner in Australia that will see over 25 countries travel to Queensland to attend the night.
