Welcome to the Food Science & Technology section of the Student Gold Pack Competition.

Details of how to enter and participate in this section of the competition is only available from your lecturer or department head.

The Institute of Packaging encourages any colleges or universities that offer qualifications in Food Science and or Food Technology to consider participating in the Student Gold Pack Competition. By participating, students will gain a wider insight into the interesting world of packaging and be exposed to a career in packaging. They also stand to win prestigious prizes and cash.

By considering the packaging component and requirements of a ‘new product development project’, currently undertaken by students, we believe a valuable insight into packaging can be gained.

In order to find out more about how your education institution can participate and how we have managed this with success in other universities, please contact the competition organisers:
