Together Lindy and Michael talk about the three awards that were won at the 2021 Packaging Innovation & Design Awards for the Oasis spice packaging, and everything that went into getting it to be such a high-quality packaging format that delivers on sustainability criteria as well as brand engagement.\n\rThey also discuss the main goals that needed to be achieved in this design process, and how a \"Refill, Return and Recycle\" focus was high on the Oasis team's priority list. Michael talks about the issues with the previous package design and then the extensive research and product testing it took to make the new design perfect. We wrap up the episode with a discussion of the consumer reaction to the new packaging and a look at what is next to come for the qDesign team.\n\rTo learn more about qDesign and Oasis, please visit their websites at:\n\rwww.qdesignenterprises.com/\n\rwww.oasisonline.com.au/\n\r\n\r\n------------------------------\nThe PKN Podcast is produced by Southern Skies Media on behalf of PKN Packaging News, owned and published by Yaffa Media.\n\rThe views of the people featured on this podcast do not necessarily represent the views of PKN Packaging News, Yaffa Media, or the guest's employer.
