The winners of the Scanstar 2011 packaging competition were announced on November 3rd in Sandefjord, Norway.

The package in question is a digitally printed carton for IT software. Each package is an individual. The package contains an integrated license card and in the logistic process, the cartons are identified individually by 2D codes printed on the package surface. The carton offers a completely new packaging solution, it is eco-friendly and easy to use. As F-Secure’s products are delivered all over the world, the cartons are printed in numerous language versions and also in trade channel editions. Assembly is fast and easy, and no extra stickers are needed. Delivery volumes are adjusted to demand, and there are no stocks. The cartons are fully recyclable.

According to the Scanstar jury, this package “solves in an ingenious way the wrapping of a security product which was previously covered in plastic. The solution is as smart as it is simple, protects effectively and is easy to open. The amount of materials and energy used in the process is also lower than in the past.”

The awarded package was launched this autumn. It forms a good basis for further product development and future applications.

The Scanstar competition is arranged by the Scandinavian Packaging Association. This year the Norwegian association Den Norske Emballasjeforening was responsible for the arrangements. For Nordic manufacturers, Scanstar is the only way to participate in the global WorldStar packaging competition. In recent years, Pyroll has received three WorldStar awards.
