Award of Excellence for DS Smith

DS Smith is delighted to receive the Starpack Award for Excellence for a presentation pack designed for Laithwaite’s Wine to package their Hugh Johnson wine selection.

The 100% recyclable pack came as a result of Laithwaite’s request for a postal pack for fulfilment and supply of wine for internet sales.

The pack, specifically developed to replace wood, provides space efficiency and excellent presentation of 6 wine bottles. The bottle is protected by the corrugated fitments which incorporate an anti-slip coating to prevent product slippage. This means the bottle stays firmly in place for the product label to be ‘on view’ to the consumer.

Branding is visible on the sides and top of the pack for identification and the pack features an easy opening device for the recipient of the delivery.

Terry Morgan, Market Development Director, DS Smith commented that, “as internet shopping grows, we’re working with our customers to protect products in transit and to give consumers the experience they expect when they receive their order. We’re delighted to have received a total of five Starpack awards on behalf of our customers.”
