Champán frío
Muchas bebidas ya se pueden comprar en las tiendas y consumirse de inmediato. ¿Este es también el caso del champán? La respuesta es “Mime”: un envase para el champán disponible por separado en la sección de congelados que hace que la bebida pase de la temperatura ambiente a la temperatura de consumo en media hora.
“Durante nuestro tiempo como estudiantes recabamos know-how considerable acerca de las fibras como materiales de envasado y aprendimos a apreciar su diversidad. Para nosotros, el congreso es una oportunidad única para obtener una visión clara de las múltiples facetas de los envases de cartón fino y hacer contactos directamente con empresas importantes”.

Winebadge

Medalla de vino
The idea for the Winebadge originated whilst enjoying a bottle of red wine with friends. There were no place mats to avoid stains on the table and this led to the idea of fitting a place mat directly to the glass. After a number of prototypes, advertising space for the vintners was added. The challenge was to balance the strength and shape of the carton to harmonise the Winebadge and the wine glass.
"The Pro Carton Young Designers Award is an exciting experience. Winning the award would be recognition of my creativity and a good reference for my future career."

The Penguin
Official name of entry: The Penguin
Designer(s): Magdalena Witkowicz
Designer(s): Magdalena Witkowicz
Vitaminas
The main idea was to teach kids how to take vitamins without being afraid – and also having fun. The idea of the Penguin came spontaneously. The first challenge was to create a form of penguin made of paper without using glue. It seemed hardly possible to design a carton that would look like a Penguin and look friendly, funny and be functional. Two further challenges were: to create a dosage mechanism and finally to find a way to close the penguin.
“I would like to work with packages and paper in the future, but I feel that I need more practice. I would like to see how the projecting and producing looks – not only in Poland but in the international area. The Pro Carton Young Designers Award is also a great chance to compare myself with students from other countries - this can help me a lot in my career. I would like to thank my teacher Agnieszka Andruszkiewicz for giving me the courage to develop the project.”

The Scroll

Tidy Pencils
The idea was to create a new pencil case. The key challenge was to get the cartonboard to be flexible, as it had to be formed into a role. The concept of a concertina solved the problem.
“This competition is really fun and exciting for me. It is the first chance to present one of my ideas to a wide audience. I believe that taking part in the Pro Carton Young Designers Award will be a great reference for my work and I am really excited being invited to the ECMA Pro Carton Congress. We will see what else the future might bring. I really enjoyed working on this project. It was exciting to realize an idea with cartonboard and I’m really happy that others liked my idea too!”
