At a factory of packaging glass, Vetropack Straža Ltd. located in the town of Hum na Sutli, the winner of the fifth Student Creative Workshop CROPAK 2013 was rewarded. The workshop was successfully organized for the fifth time in a row by the Institute of Packaging and Graphic Arts Tectus – IatT and trade journal Ambalaža/REGprint from Zagreb.
The factory of packaging glass Vetropack Straža joined Student Creative Workshop CROPAK 2013 as a friend of the project. By presenting the factory's production of packaging glass and its characteristics, they enhanced the educational part of this year's Workshop.
This year's creative task was to re/deign the label and glass bottle of Vitinka mineral water product line, a producer from Kozluk, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Creative solution by Adi Franković from the Academy of Applied Arts, University of Rijeka, mentored by Aljoša Brajdić was the best work of the Student Creative Workshop CROPAK 2013 and thus became a template for the new packaging of Vitinka mineral water product line. Adi was also acknowledged for sending four original and well developed solutions. You may find more information about this creative solution here.
The awarded design by Adi Franković will also be promoted within this year's packaging festival FEST.A CROPAK which will be held on 13th and 14th June at the Kralj hotel in Donji Kraljevec (near Čakovec). The main topic is entitled "On the threshold of the EU: packaging, legislation, sustainability..."
After announcing the winner and receiving the acknowledgements and awards, students took a guidance tour around the factory and had a chance to see in person the process of glass packaging production. 
The awarded design will be sent to WorldStar Student – International packaging Design Student Competition, organized by World Packaging Organization (WPO), whose member is the Institute of Packaging and Graphic Arts Tectus (IatT) in which winners of the previous Student Creative Workshops CROPAK achieved great success.
