    Innovating Packaging: Insights from Pilsner Urquell's Petr Kundrata

    A preview of the evaluation of the packaging prototypes of the Model Young Package with an expert from the beer industry.

    Packaging innovation in a time of changing market demands

    Petr Kundrata is an experienced project manager who has worked at Pilsner Urquell since 1993. During that time he has held various positions in marketing and product management.

    Since 2008, he has been working as a project manager in response to business needs and changing market conditions in the field of innovation. Currently, he is involved in packaging projects.

    Most recently, he was involved in the complete re-design of the premium beer brand Pilsner Urquell. This involved changes to both primary and secondary packaging to reinforce the premiumness of the brand with an emphasis on sustainability.

    Packaging has the same priority for our company as TV or social media. In fact, it has an even greater reach of millions of contacts each year, making it essential in the marketing mix as a key touch point.

    For Petr Kundrata, the Model Young Package brings two key aspects to the involvement of schools in the competition:

    1. The opportunity to stand out with individual solutions in the High School category and to compare their results with other young designers on a comparable level.
    2. Comparison with more experienced senior designers in the Unlimited category.

    This can be used not only for self-presentation of the work, but also for motivation to go further.

    Idea, design, usability – fresh inputs for beverage industry

    Petr Kundrata approached his work as a juror with the expectation of uniqueness and novelty of solutions, use of design elements and processing technologies within packaging.

     

    He was also interested in the practical implementation in production, distribution and market positioning.

     

    During the jury session in Frankfurt he particularly praised four prototypes:

     

    Unlimited

    • Fold up Pick up (Se Hyeon Won)
    • Omni-Pack X6 (Philipp Hainke)

    High school

    • Jägermeister #SAVETHENIGHT (Sebastian Sikora)
    • UFO FOUR PACK (Karolína Pospěchová)

    Keep doing what you're doing, do it to the best of your ability and above all, don't worry if something doesn't materialise or isn't generally accepted, because there are plenty of other opportunities to take advantage of in packaging.
