The jury has selected the Summit 2026 case studies
Jury selection completed
The expert jury has made its decision. It selected stories for the Obal roku Summit programme that are built not on polished presentation, but on a real problem, an intelligent packaging solution and results proven in practice.
Customer and supplier will share the stage to present not only the final pack, but the full journey from the brief and testing to what genuinely changed after implementation.
Selected case studies
The jury selected two projects that demonstrate the power of thoughtful packaging in both a retail brand and demanding industrial logistics.
