How many samples

Enter 1 category send two physical samples
Enter 2 categories send three physical samples
Enter 3 categories send four physical samples

NOTE – Providing an additional sample allows the judges to open and inspect the pack to judge true fitness and purpose, whilst providing another un-tampered sample to be photographed and displayed, if it is deemed successful. Special notes – If the entry is of a large and cumbersome nature it is necessary to provide only one sample. If contents require refrigeration clearly state on the outer pack. Use of dummy products is preferable in these circumstances. The Packaging Council of Australia Inc cannot accept responsibility for packages received in a damaged condition although every opportunity will be given to entrants to provide replacements.
