Design innovation is at the core of SCA Packaging’s DNA. We develop concepts that address current market insights, as well as inspire our customers through the work carried out at SCA Packaging’s Innovation Centre, the packaging think tank that inspires leading brands with new game-changing packaging concepts for the future.

The third edition of the SCA Design Challenge attracted 1,000 design students from around the world. The challenge: create an innovative packaging design for LEGO’s ‘Bricks and More’ starter set and SCA’s Tempo tissue box.

The winners of each category will be announced on March 28 2012 during ENG’s 8^th annual Packaging Design conference in Brussels. Join us and discover a new generation of packaging design.  For more information: http://www.scapackaging-design-challenge.com/
