Great Northern Claims an Excellence Award at the Annual PPC Competition

Premium Graphics and Optimized Structure for the Supply Chain make this Club Store Solution a Winner!

For the last 82 years, packaging manufacturers across the country have entered and competed in the North American Paperboard Packaging Competition: a showcase of the creativity, innovation, and technical excellence that continues to define our industry. Hosted by the Paperboard Packaging Council, the annual competition is for manufacturers involved in the concept, design, print, performance, and shelf appeal of paperboard packaging. The submissions are judged by a panel of packaging professionals, industry experts, and professors at PPC’s headquarters in Springfield, MA.

This year, Great Northern is pleased to announce it received an Excellence Award for its Philly Swirl: Trolls Frozen Ice Pops package! When Philly Swirl launched a new product line in club stores, they turned to Great Northern to develop packaging that would meet both functional and visual demands. The graphics needed to be of premium quality to stand out on crowded retail shelves and the packaging had to perform flawlessly throughout the supply chain. It also needed to withstand cold, damp environments and meet the rigorous standards of club store distribution.

Great Northern delivered a high-performance packaging solution that not only met these technical requirements but also created a strong visual impact, serving as a billboard in the club store environment. Custom-engineered scoring profiles for the thicker substrate ensured the cartons erected cleanly and efficiently on the customer’s automated fill lines, streamlining fulfillment and maintaining structural integrity from production to purchase.
