Make a Mark is a three-year collaboration platform created to accelerate creative and technological innovation in wine and spirits packaging and provide brand owners with a preview of the future packaging design trends. The goal is to stimulate the designers’ creativity with a special focus on luxury and sustainability.

Without cost and technological constraints, eighteen of the best packaging design agencies on a global level have been challenged to push their creativity further and break new ground in packaging innovation.

The brief was to satisfy the brands’ double need to make the difference on the shelf by catching the consumer’s eye while respecting the environment.

The resulting trailblazing design projects have then been developed by leaders in the luxury packaging supply chain like ESTAL for the glass bottles, Avery Dennison for the labeling materials, Kurz for the embellishments and many other key players in the industry like label printers, capsule and closures manufacturers.

“Make a Mark is not a design contest and the Make a Mark book is not a catalog featuring the current packaging design trends. It showcases the prototypes created by the industry pioneers leading the way towards a new era of wine and spirits packing design. Make a Mark is an ambitious project, which has engaged more than forty partners for many months in order to first create and then develop such futuristic packaging projects.” said Vladimir Tyulpin, Avery Dennison’s market segment leader – wine and spirits.

Stéphane Royère, director of the packaging and print business unit of Leonhard Kurz, had the honor of presenting the Make a Mark Design Gallery to HSH Prince Albert II, who visited the booth. “His Highness greatly appreciated our project, but the next edition of Make a Mark will be even more ambitious. We have already been working on the 2022’s edition to develop some new ideas that will increase the interest of those brands that wish to invest in their products’ packaging to make a difference on the shelf while decreasing the packaging impact on the environment.”

Brands need creativity aimed at actual technological advancement

The constant acceleration of business in the time of globalization leaves no room for promises. Brands want concrete proposals. The primary need of brands is to create packaging that is attractive, but at the same time sustainable. “This is why we Make a Mark Design Gallery at Luxe Pack the last edition aroused great interest from the most important brands in the wine & spirits segment and cosmetics. Make a Mark has freed the creativity of some of the most awarded packaging design studios in the world, “pushing” us players in the packaging supply chain to rapidly develop new technologies and new materials that are truly at the forefront in terms of sustainability.

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
