2025 Student Design Challenge
Fiber-based packaging is sustainable and recyclable. To increase its use, this year's Design Challenge asks students to design a new paperboard packaging line for an original pet care company, PPA Pets.
Each year, the Paperboard Packaging Alliance (PPA) challenges students in leading sustainable packaging design programs to show off their design skills, innovative capacity and savvy in meeting real-world customer needs and marketing scenarios.
