PORTLAND, OR—OIA Global, a leading logistics, packaging and material sourcing provider, received a first place selection for the 2016 Dieline Award in the category of Games, Toys, Sports and Recreational.
Richard Fan, OIA’s senior structural designer who created the innovative packaging for the Sport Ball Project on behalf of Nike Equipment, pointed out that packaging for athletic and outdoor equipment is a very mature category.
“Nike Equipment issued us quite a challenge to develop a sustainable, efficient and cutting edge package that would be disruptive to the marketplace in the best way possible, and continue their reputation for innovation,” Fan states.
OIA vice-president of global packaging Marc Bevilacqua comments: “Packaging is an extension of our customer’s product, and with that comes the requisite constraints of efficiency, cost, attractiveness and sustainability.”
Andrew Gibbs, the founder of The Dieline notes, “There were over 1,100 submissions from 13 different countries. I congratulate Richard and the OIA team for this well-deserved recognition of their hard work and innovation.”
The 2016 awards ceremony took place at the HOW Design Live conference in Atlanta, Georgia on May 19, 2016.
