Press Release

NielsenIQ BASES announces the winners of the 2021 Global Pack Design Impact Awards



Chicago, IL, October 6, 2021Last week, NielsenIQ BASES announced the 2021 Global Pack Design Impact Award winners, celebrating the real and measurable business impact of outstanding package design for the sixth consecutive year. The design experts at NielsenIQ BASES believe great package design rarely gets the recognition it deserves and created the Global Pack Design Impact Award to demonstrate the tremendous impact that effective package design can have, and to celebrate brands that are elevating the role of packaging in the marketing mix around the globe. The global award recognizes successful package redesigns — ones that have helped to drive significant increases in brands’ bottom lines. 

“Pack design restages can create significant upsides in market when they are optimized across the full shopper journey,” says Andrea Fraboni, Vice President & Global leader of BASES Design Solutions. “Our 2021 Design Impact Award winners are wonderful examples of what can be achieved when a shopper-centric approach is taken to pack design.” 

NielsenIQ BASES reviewed in-market performance of all submissions using NielsenIQ’s Retail Measurement Sales data, identifying brands that saw a demonstrable increase in retail dollar sales and units during the period that followed the redesign launch. Complementing sales data, NielsenIQ also conducted a survey of thousands of shoppers to assess how well each submitted redesign addressed the entrants’ core communication objective and whether shoppers were more likely to purchase the new package versus the old one.  Based on the results of this full analysis, thirteen winning designs emerged and were recognized for their success working across the full shopper journey, showcasing the very real and measurable business value of outstanding package design. These winners represent a diverse range of business situations across food, personal care, pet care, and home care.
