Innovation Awards Testimonials

"The benefits to Australian design education created by the Cormack competition is immeasurable. Many companies could learn so much by following in the footsteps of Cormack. The opportunity for young Australian talent is limited and annual events like the packaging competition are successful on so many levels. It deepening their understanding of material, process and ultimately a more professional attitude. The visits to the Cormack site has creates a doorway that allows students to step outside the studio and see real time production processes. 

The presentation evening is a gala event and builds confidence in young minds. Allowing them to look further and be more ambitious in their career paths both at home and internationally.

 A unique opportunity created by a generous and forward thinking company, thank you Matthew."

"The Cormack Innovation Awards give students a fantastic opportunity to showcase their design talents to industry.  Consumer goods brand owners and marketing teams are always on the look out for inspiration in improved pack designs or completely new ways in which to deliver a product to market.  Whatever shape a package takes, it always needs to have the consumer in front of mind at the concept.  The design team and engineers at Cormack will do the rest to turn these concepts into reality.  As an invited judge participating in last year’s awards, I can say that the team at Cormack Packaging have put together a well organised program to review design submissions and judge these fairly by involving people directly from industry.  The Cormack Innovation Awards are a positive step for packaging companies and really highlight our talented local students entering the packaging industry in Australia."
