Select one of the project briefs. Consider your selection carefully. It may help to think of products you purchase or consume. Spend some time looking at products on retail shelves and identify where you could propose a packaging concept that would make a real difference. Develop your packaging design concept to meet the criteria of the project brief.

 

If this project is a part of your course assignments, you first will submit your project as instructed by your lecturer or course leader. For your project to be entered into the STUDENT GOLD PACK AWARDS programme, you will need to register and complete the on-line entry form (on this website). 

 

To be completed by Monday 25th August 2025. The on-line entry form is found in the tab "MY ENTRY".

 

1. (REQUIRED) Your personal details including name contact details, course studied etc.

2. (REQUIRED) Good quality photographs and/or computer generated images of your packaging proposal. Although you are required to make a physical mock-up of your proposal, your submission must also be submitted digitally. This may be presented as photographs of your physical mock-up or digital 3D renderings of the pack proposal. Some students may even present both for clarity and to overcome the execution problems presented by the mock-up. The purpose of the mock-up is to clearly demonstrate the how your pack concept works in 3D. Making a physical mock-up will help you test the practicality and functionality of your concept. The mock-up does not necessarily need to be made up from the material you are proposing if this is not feasible. 

3. (REQUIRED) A SHORT summary of your project proposal, Features of the proposal - why should it be a winning project? Maximum 50 Words. (See the tab "Tips Links and Reference" for more)

4. (OPTIONAL) Additional support motivation. This can include as much or as little as is necessary to support your concept proposal. This may include both visuals and text - but keep it relevant to your concept. This is optional additional information - Avoid this being too complex or 'wordy'. Focus on what makes your concept different and 'stand-out'. 

 

All students are required to produce physical mock-ups of the packaging proposal. Only in rare circumstances, will it be accepted that this is not feasible and the CGI visuals will be accepted.

If this project is a part of your course assignments, your lecturer or course leader will arrange to have the mock-ups delivered to us. If you are entering on you own, the mockups must be delivered to the address below before the closing date, Monday 25th August 2025.
