December 8, 2014
HARTSVILLE, SC – Sonoco Alloyd, part
of Sonoco Display and Packaging, a unit of global packaging company
Sonoco (NYSE:SON), has been recognized with a WorldStar 2015 Packaging
Award for its Whirlpool(R) Water EveryDrop(TM) water filter package by
the World Packaging Organization.
“The Whirlpool Water EveryDrop is a perfect example of Sonoco Alloyd’s
core values and abilities – innovation, collaboration and design,” said
Jeff Christensen, vice president and general manager of Sonoco Alloyd.
“By winning first the national AmeriStar award in June, and now this
WorldStar 2015 award, we are solidifying a record of original,
innovative packaging designs.”
This new-to-the-market product reinvents packaging for on-the-go water
filters. The water droplet shape of the clamshell cavity positions the
filter so the outer graphics clearly communicate what it is, how it
works and the many ways to use this innovative product. Additionally,
the outer printed sleeve attracts shoppers with a 3-D printed water
droplet effect and refreshing graphic color scheme.
