Display Pack Wins Ameristar Award for Green AT&T Packaging

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan, April 20, 2010 - AT&T Accessible Pack – For Wireless Accessories is the recipient of a 2009/2010 AmeriStar Award from the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP). This represents Display Pack’s fourth consecutive AmeriStar Award.

Display Pack worked with Superior Communications of Irwindale, Calif. to design and produce accessible and sustainable packaging for AT&T cell phone accessories. The sustainable solution is easy to open and showcases the products from all views, allowing the customer to inspect and even try out the product with their own phone, then reclose the packaging without compromising package integrity.

“The packaging design team surpassed the common look and durability of an ordinary carton/clamshell package and transformed it into an interactive customer experience,” said Victor Hansen, Display Pack’s president. “Showcasing the products with 360-degree views, the new design models the slim, sleek ‘Apple-esque’ shape of the iPhone, while allowing for a unique blend of paperboard and plastic, with accessibility not seen in today’s packaging.”

Improved sustainability was met by reducing up to 63% paperboard and 34% plastic compared to the original AT&T packaging. In addition, because the package is designed so that it does not need to be heat sealed, the packaging process reduces heat and consequently greenhouse gas emissions. Finally, because no seal is needed, the paperboard and plastic can be easily separated and recycled.

The packaging is being used for 125 separate AT&T accessory products, creating a unified look to the brand’s product merchandising. The new design accommodates many products in a uniform package with three depths to complement numerous product dimensions.

“Collective effort between our packaging and configuration teams and Display Pack’s design and engineering teams made it possible to achieve and exceed a challenging set of sustainability and functionality goals established by AT&T,” said Mike Fosselman, vice president of distribution and logistics of Superior Communications.

Members of the Display Pack/Superior Communications team will formally accept the AmeriStar award on May 18, 2010, at the AmeriStar and IoPP Honors & Awards Dinner in Roseville, Ill.
