2011 Flexible Packaging Student Design Challenge

FPA’s Student Flexible Packaging Design Challenge honors the flexible packaging solutions developed by students. Flexible Packaging is used to package a wide variety of items. From retail food to medical and pharmaceutical products, the packaging possibilities are endless. The only limit is your imagination.

In its seventh year, the Student Flexible Packaging Design Challenge has become a prestigious competition within the packaging industry.

Below are the 2011 winners and entries:

	First Place Winner Windshield Washer Fluid Package Student: Tasha Aird & Michelle O’Connell School: Mohawk College The Windshield Washer Fluid Package includes a unique innovation that also acts as a funnel for filling automobile fluids. Attached to the end of the hose is a semi-rigid threaded cap closure. The stand-up gusset pouch base design is easily incorporated into current manufacturing procedures. The design replaces the existing one gallon semi-rigid container.
	Second Place Winner Topper’s Cupcakes Student: Tasha Aird & Michelle O’Connell School: Mohawk College The Topper’s Cupcake package is a creative flexible design for individually portioned and premixed cupcake batter. The package is a flexible polymer-based pouch with a convenient pouring feature. All ingredients are in dry form – the customer only needs to add water and bake!
	boteFlex™ Student: Ofero A Caparino, Roopesh Syamaladevi, Fermin Resurreccion, Sumeet Dhawan, and Wenjia Zhang School: Washington State University The drink powder packaging boteflex™ is an expandable and make-it-yourself drink packaging, designed to meet the consumer demands for more convenient, cost and space-saving drink products. The packaging design is an effort to help preserve value added food powders with added consumer convenience of easy storage and disposal. The package can be produced using recyclable PET to make it environmentally friendly and sustainable. The consumer just needs to open the resealable cap, expand the package, add water then shake!
	Cucumber Pickle Package Student: Gursimranjit Singh Chahal School: San Jose State University The high strength flexible stand up pouch for cucumber pickle is designed for consumer convenience replacing glass jars. The package is lightweight, portable, easy to store and resealable. The zip lock feature allows the consumer to reseal the package. The window at the back of the package allows the consumer to see through it and evaluate the product before purchase.
	Flexible Leavened Dough Container Student: Anna Graham & Kelly Peters School: Western Michigan University The Flexible Leavened Dough Container is a helically opened cylinder packaged with a shrink sleeve intended to hold leavening dough. This product would use flexible packaging material. The package container and shrink sleeve would be built with a pull tab that, when pulled, would release the pressure in the package and pop open. This product shows the versatility and innovation of flexible Packaging.
	Flex-Organic FreshBake Cookies Student: R. Andrew Hurley & Natalie Quin School: Clemson University Flex-Organic FreshBake Cookies utilizes a unique flexible packaging structure that separates the freshest ingredients so anyone can make delicious, preservative-free cookies. The Flex-Organic packaging design offers a variety of benefits: the convenience of preprocessed foods without the pre-processing, pre-measured ingredients, and virtually eliminates preparation in the kitchen. The packaging is fun, interactive, and plays a critical role with the consumer. Due to the innovative sealing structure, ingredients are separated in their natural state, eliminating the need for preservatives and refrigeration.
