The Golden Nut Award

Founded in 1958, the Packaging Innovation Contest – De Gouden Noot (“The Gold Walnut”) is one of the world's most competitive packaging contests. The NVC Netherlands Packaging Centre awards “holistic innovation in packaged products and packaging”. The symbol and trophy of the competition is a walnut, a metaphor for sustainable, effective and innovative packaging.

The contest was held in two rounds, with a jury chaired by Professor Renee Wever and covering all aspects of packaging. The first round with 40 competing entries was followed by a second round where 10 candidates were short-listed for the final award.

The winners of the 29th edition of De Gouden Noot were announced on the 22nd of November and the Combo Excelsior® received the Zilveren Noot (Silver Walnut) for its innovative features including its improved hopper discharge capability.
