Champion: Northern Pasta Co.

As a small British brand making pasta from regeneratively grown grains, Northern Pasta Co. wanted to be bold with its redesign in order to stand out in a highly traditional category.

The new packaging is made using paper and zero plastic – itself a cost and technical challenge – alongside a bold, block-colour design that our judges felt “taps into authentic artisan cues”, embedding “beautiful design” with clear signals to the brand’s eco-values. One judge even felt it represented a “celebration of the use of paper”.
