All branded FOOD & BEVERAGES products are eligible for participation for the best packaging award. The products to be evaluated must be in the appropriate condition for testing and their distinctive information must be written out correctly and clearly on the label, i.e. they must be products ready to be sold to the consumer public.
Each judge records a numerical rating on the evaluation sheet, which represents the general sense of Imaging (which weighs the most in the final rating) as well as other criteria, such as the label, bottle or can or other material of packaging, innovation, colors and the general image of the product.
The companies that will be awarded have the right to promote their distinction, by using the award logos. Products are evaluated by each member of the committee. The general rating, on a scale of 100, is the result of the weighted average of the separate ratings.
