In an increasingly competitive consumer market there is a growing
demand for packaging designers; people who are capable of designing packs that are not only graphically attractive, but which also meet the functional requirements to preserve and protect the contents and can be produced cost effectively with due regard for environmental issues.
Entries for the Student Starpack Awards are received from students on a wide range of courses, some with a graphics emphasis and others concerned with structural and product design, as well as those from materials and technology courses. In the past the awards have led directlto a number of employment opportunities for successful entrants.
