Each year, the Paperboard Packaging Council holds a prestigious competition that searches out the finest in packaging design. This year, among the tens of thousands of paperboard packages introduced in the North American marketplace, a few hundred entries made first cut. Judges from design magazines, top universities and the packaging industry spent a week scrutinizing every one of them, awarding each a certain number of points.

An entry earning a total of 18 to 23 points was given an Excellence Award; fifty-one entrants qualified. A total of 24 to 30 points earned a Gold Award; there were twenty-three in that category, including Lexus, Lord & Taylor, Apple and the Britney Spears “Believe” cosmetic line. The entry with the highest number of total points earns the President’s Award. In this highest category, there was only one. . .

Who turned out to be our friend, Scott Ohlgren, with his company’s uniq design for his Brain Toniq.

Our buddy Scott beat Apple and Lexus.

Way to go, dude.
