FreePack Spirit awards
The packaging design student contest
Within the occasion of VS Pack, Atlanpack organises, in partnership with the INDP, the FreePack Spirit contest which encourages the development of packaging creations on the Spirit market. A great showcase for future student designers.
FreePack Spirit Awards: 1000 candidates since 2003
Organized since 2003 in partnership with the National Institute of Packaging Design (INDP), the FreePack Spirit contest has attracted more than 1,000 candidates representing some 50 different schools. Students must create the complete packaging of a brand or a consumption concept of a spirit drink. The shortlisted projects are exposed during the VS Pack exhibition, organized every two years in Cognac. They benefit from visibility among the 3,500 visiting professionals and from the press coverage that accompanies this event. Note that for the exhibiting companies, VS Pack organizes the SpiriPack Trophies.
2021 FreePack Spirit winners on the theme "Packaging Design and Reuse"
With « Hôte” (Host in English), the winning students give some bird species a chance to stay and reproduce: the box created to hold a bottle of Cognac can be reused as a birdhouse!
« Euflorie » is a gin bottle that, once empty, becomes a terrarium. With potting soil in the cap and seeds in the carton, this bottle is a great example of post-consumer reuse.
« Tikku » is a bowling game like no other. It is similar to Finnish Möllky. But it is a game to be enjoyed with friends! Indeed, the skittles are hollow and turn into a glass during a friendly aperitif.
