Nampak wins for Africa

Winners:

• 

  Bronze Presidents Award in the category 'other' - Nampak Bevcan for its Talking, Shivering Can. The can, developed to communicate Coca-Cola's promotional 'Brrr' campaign, actually shivers and says "Brrr" when opened, followed by a short promotional message. With consumers excited about the possibility of finding one of the winning cans, the talking shivering can rejuvenated Coca-Cola's sales during cold weather and served as a perfect medium to carry Coca-Cola's brand message.
  

• Bevcan's second WorldStar award, in the beverage category, won jointly with the group's Research & Development for its 250 ml Springbok Blood Energy Drink. The can, designed to resemble the Springbok Rugby jersey achieved printing excellence through its 360-degree printable surface, and graphics, which glow under UV light. This can provided the ideal platform to increase shelf shout and deliver against the customers' request for an exciting, inspiring and interactive packaging format for a once off initiative.
  

• 

  Liquid, Closures and R&D won a joint WorldStar award in the beverage category for South Africa's first multilayer co-extruded UHT dairy bottle. The dairy bottle was produced for Woolworths and revitalised product, brand and sales for the retailer's long-life dairy products.
  

• Wiegand Glass - WorldStar award in the beverage category for developing the 430g lightweight glass bottle for wine, as well as the lightweight 370g export wine bottle. The lighter weight glass bottles, developed for The Robertson Winery, are just as strong as before, but produce significant cost savings as well as a brand that can now promote a positive material reduction to increasingly environmentally conscious consumers.
  

• 

  Sacks took home two WorldStar awards, one for the Snowflake Flour bag in the food category, and one for the PRO Cement sack in the category 'other' - both of these packs are seen as 'packaging legends' due to how they've stayed aesthetically true to the brands they represent whilst undergoing significant upgrades for supply chain and retailing purposes.
  

• Zambia earned its award in the food category with the customized, triangular shaped Trade Kings' Samosa Boxes, which put customer Supa Confectioners ahead of the competition.
  
• Hunyani Paper and Packaging won the first of its awards in the food category with the Innscor Luv Dat Chicken Box, which was produced as an alternative to the old foam trays and paper bags. The Hunyani division developed an environmentally friendly, coated tobacco wrap for the Zimbabwean tobacco industry to win its second award in the category 'other'.
