Double winner. Packaging award winners secure WorldStar
By winning the German Packaging Award, companies not only immortalise themselves in the European hall of fame for the best innovations in packaging. They also secure the chance to win the WorldStar Award from the World Packaging Organisation. 15 packaging award winners from last year have taken their chance. Congratulations on winning the WorldStar 2025!
On 9 January 2025, the World Packaging Organisation announced the winners of the WorldStar 2025 Awards. Behind Japan with 23 winners, Austria and Germany share second place with 22 winners each (see WPO press release).
15 of the new WorldStar award winners had entered the race with a ticket for the German Packaging Award. This is because winning the German Packaging Award automatically qualifies the winners to take part in the WorldStar Award.
Save the date!
The submission phase for the German Packaging Award 2025 starts on 25 February 2025. You will find all information in good time on the Packaging Award website.
