Awards & Recognitions

 The “OneBox” package was chosen as the 2021 winner in the Corrugated Board category of the packaging innovation prize organized in France by the company G.I.S.I. and also received the first prize in the 2021 Technological Innovation category at the VITeff exhibition. Developed for 6 bottles of wine, the “OneBox” was specifically recognized for its many innovative features and sustainability advantages.  

This packaging is unique in that it combines two functions in one solution: It provides maximum protection to the wine bottles during shipping while serving as an attractive promotional display with its built-in handle, flat layout and ability to be printed on both its inside and outside. Moreover, all of OneBox's components – from the outer packaging to internal fittings – are made from a single piece. This innovative design feature significantly simplifies the packing process at the customer’s and avoids over-packaging. Thanks to the use of a tamper-proof locking system, the package is made entirely from corrugated board and does not require any additional glue or tape, making it a fully recyclable packaging solution contributing to the circular economy. “OneBox” has been designed by International Paper in France.
