DS Smith, an International Paper company, picked up a triple win at the WorldStar Global Packaging Awards 2025.
The three awards, which are allocated for two separate categories within the competition, were presented during a ceremony held on the last day of the IPACK-IMA Packaging Show 2025 (27th – 30th May 2025) in Milan, Italy.
The first award for DS Smith is for TransSteel 2200C by Fronius International, an Austrian-based manufacturer of welding, photovoltaics and charging technology, and was presented within the Electronics category of the competition. The fibre-based packaging solution is modular in shape and made from corrugated cardboard. It is designed to protect Fronius International’s 15kg welding machines during transportation by truck, ship, air freight, or parcel service.
In the Transit category, DS Smith impressed the panel of judges with its packaging innovation for the natural cosmetics brand RINGANA. The innovative packaging solution and concept was developed and designed to support RINGANA in its transportation of multiple cosmetics products by long-distance shipment. The new packaging solution allows for multiple products to be separately stored and protected in individual casing and compact assignments, and it is designed to contain thirty products in a variety of sizes and shapes. The innovation effectively reduces the volume of packaging, while using fewer materials and supporting the brand’s sustainability targets. In addition, the ultra-compact boxes benefit from integrated tear strips and Flexo printing on their external surfaces.
DS Smith Iberia was also awarded a WorldStar Global Packaging Award for DS Smith Tecnicarton Corrugated Cardboard Trays: Safe and Sustainable Packaging for Automotive Headlights in the Transit category.
