We already know the winners of the national design and packaging awards ARCAPCAK 2026For the second year in a row, the olive oil sector has been recognized with two ARCAPACK awards. NARROW HOUSE is the designer of both. The bottle and case design for SACAÑÉ received the Gold ARCAPACK in the “PREMIUM PACK” category for its ability to position olive oil as a luxury item. Meanwhile, the design for ACEITES DELGADO received the Gold ARCAPACK for its use of innovative materials, specifically stone, to pay homage to the original mill and traditional methods.
Major retailers continue to invest in packaging design to compete on equal footing with brands like LIDL, ALCAMPO, and CONSUM. These retailers have been recognized by the jury and are setting this trend by positioning their products on the shelf with strong image and design to compete with established brands. CONSUM's salt packaging line was awarded the ARCAPACK Gold seal for best packaging design.
In the competitive category of beverage bottle design, the ARCAPACK Gold seal has been awarded to RENDER's design for Ron MALABUSCA, a bottle and label set that combines materials and artisanal details to reinforce the exclusivity of the rum.
The ARCAPACK seal for best food packaging was awarded to VICTOR FOLK for ENBOX – WORLD VYPMAR, an imaginative cherry tomato box that transforms into a mini basketball court, turning the packaging into a game. Also noteworthy was the ARCAPACK Gold Seal-winning design for best experience, created by PACK CO for FRUBALMED, which transforms mandarin baskets into a Christmas train, complete with a locomotive and carriages, to encourage fruit consumption among children.
The beauty and perfumery sector has been very well represented with the ARCAPACK gold seal for the joint design by ENEKO DE MIGUEL and LADISPACK for MARÍA ORBAI in which the concept “less is more” creates a dialogue between modernity and tradition.
It has also been awarded in the field of beauty, with the ARCAPACK Gold seal, in the materials section, the line of plastic packaging that MR. GUTEMBERG has designed for NIVEA, which opts for a transparent, modern and honest design that improves legibility and allows the product to be seen.
VERALIDAD ESTUDIO's design for ODOPROX, awarded the ARCAPACK Gold seal, has won with a line of packaging that moves from a cold, classic and generic language to a modern, luminous, dynamic and human one.
ARCAPACK Innovation has awarded two Gold Seals. SANOPACK INNOVATION was recognized for its COMBOX system, which redefines the category: the first airtight, compostable paper box for complete meals, with a customizable heat-sealed lid. The COMBOX system also won the award for best paper or cardboard packaging.
Also in the field of innovation, this time in materials, the ARCAPACK Gold seal has been awarded to ENPLATER for its new generation of puncture-resistant and barrier-resistant Mono PE flexible packaging that replaces traditional multi-layer solutions.
In the materials section, the ARCAPACK award for best glass packaging goes to the bottle that GRAFYCO has created for LICORELLA wines, in which the glass reproduces the irregular texture of slate, the origin of the mineral character that defines these wines.
Wine boxes transformed into soap boxes, designed by NARROW HOUSE for THE WINE BAR, an idea recognized with the ARCAPACK Gold Seal for best "ECO" packaging. The discarded boxes were transformed into layered cardboard packs. The wine was turned into soap. A circular and low-cost solution that converts waste into value without compromising design.
The ARCAPACK Gold Seal for best POS material has been awarded to the design created by RENDER for the Elche City Council. This POS material is a central part of the awareness campaign promoting the use of litter bins and ashtrays, “DON'T LITTER OUR FUTURE.”
When a bottle becomes a POS material or a promotional item, this is the ARCAPACK Gold Seal in the Miscellaneous, which has been awarded to the work of LA CONSULTA CREATIVA, Matasuegras 33, a fun creative exercise, the axis of a self-promotion campaign.
The nature of the ARCAPACK Award jury, made up exclusively of members appointed by the main professional organizations and specialized media in the sector, without any members of Veredictas, means that it is the profession as a whole that awards the prize and not a particular association or media outlet.
The winning works of the ARCAPACK DE ORO receive a direct passport to participate free of charge in the WORLD BEST PACKAGING International Award, representing Spanish packaging design at a standard of excellence that in the last edition received works from more than 20 countries.
The winners of the ARCAPACK Gold Seal are: RENDER, Victor Folk, Mr. Gutenberg, Veralidad studio, Eneko de Miguel and LADISPACK, PackCo | Brand & Packaging, Narrow House, Sanopack Innovation, GRAPHYCO, Plater y The Creative Consultation
