JXNU professor wins Worldstar 2016 Packaging Award

Lu Shizhu, a professor at Jiangxi Normal University, received the Worldstar 2016 Packaging Award in Dusseldorf, Germany on May 4.

Professor Lu is the only university representative among 15 Chinese winners at the competition, which is one of the major events of the World Packaging Organisation (WPO).

Renowned as "the Oscars of packaging design”, the WorldStar awards are presented annually for those packages which have already won recognition in a national or regional competition. They are compared by an expert panel of judges to similar packages from around the world.

China joined the WPO in 1978 and the China National Export Commodities Packaging Research Institute is a member of the council.
