NAPA Baltic 2020 Winners Presented in a Virtual Exhibition
The highest honors this year were awarded to Kilig X Naglis’
hand creme package (BIOK Laboratorija and étiquette), Panda
Vaajakoski pralines boxes destined for the Finnish market (Orkla and
KOOR), the Obelių Crafted Vodka bottle solution (Vilniaus degtinė and Not
Perfect), the Limited Edition Compass IV beer pack (Švyturys - Utenos
alus and Not Perfect), label designs for Vasaknų dvaras beer (Vasaknų
dvaras and FOLK), the redesign of the labels for LESTA automobile chemical
products (Lesta and étiquette), and Fonos phone packaging (TELE2 and Godspeed
Branding).
One of the members of the Jury and the Creative Director of
the Hmmm Creative agency, Helene Vetik, commented that the
overall design quality and presentation level were especially great this year,
with special kudos going to not only the local designers, but also the
photographers, art directors, and 3D artists behind the work visuals.
“I remember the times when clients simply didn't want to pay
for proper product editorials and designers had to photoshop cheap-looking sets
of bottles or cans,” said H. Vetik. “It seems that with imagery demand for
social media these times are gone and business owners understand that design
work doesn't end with finishing the package. As a bit of criticism - it would
be great to see more biodegradable packages and packaging from recycled
materials.”
Another member of the Jury, Dan Mikkin, who is a Partner
at the Estonian Brand Manual agency, also noted that sustainability
trends in the Baltics are still behind schedule, but expressed his hope that
designers will gain more and more say when it comes to introducing
manufacturers to the good practices.
“Responsible packaging is a competitive edge these days, not
a luxury,” said D. Mikkin. “With that said, we were happy to see designs from
the alcohol industry, which has the most solid base for impressive packaging,
but also packaging from our region’s high tech electronics and home appliance
manufacturers. It was great to see the overall good balance between work
commissioned by small producers and the mainstream industry.”
The organizers of NAPA Baltic are continuing with the
tradition of presenting the awards winners openly, but due to the pandemic
situation in the region, the process is moving to the digital world. The
winners will be presented in a virtual exhibition, available at www.napa.lt/expo-2020.
Different from previous years, the winners will be presented
in a video format, which should better display all the nuance that goes into
the packages, including the treatment of material, texture, etc., while also
making the viewer feel as if he is at the real exhibition in person.
The most successful design companies at the awards were Not
Perfect (6 prizes, Lithuania), Asketic (3, Latvia), and étiquette
(3, Lithuania).
This year, 40 packaging designs were selected for the Finals
out of 116 total submissions, mostly from Lithuania. The works were judged by a
7-person jury, which consisted of established Baltic marketing, creative, and
packaging design professionals.
