De Gouden Noot
The winners of gold, silver, bronze and the other seven finalists.
The Golden Nut: the world’s most competitive packaging innovation competition. For many editions now, designers of sustainable, effective, and innovative packaging have been competing for the unique winner’s trophy containing a solid gold walnut. Global recognition awaits the winner of this prize. One of the ways this happens is through an exhibition at leading packaging events. In 2026, we will once again welcome the Golden Nut to Empack and Packaging Innovations! Upon arrival, the winners and finalists of 2025 will be prominently featured in the spotlight. Curious about the participants? Read on to find out more!
