Starpack, the UK packaging industry's most prestigious awards, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and has made their 2009 picks. Here at birdsong gregory, this had got to be one of our favorites

Winning the Gold for Best Drinks Design, this Jack Daniels perforated tin by Brown Forman is technically innovative and brilliantly executed. The partial vertical perforation of the body sidewall, gives a glimpse of the iconic Jack Daniels bottle inside, and features 9,000 perforated holes running from top to bottom. By only perforating half of the square container the design provides an ideal background for quality black print on the metallic surface, and the design is finished off with an embossed logo.

Three Starpack Awards (Gold, Silver, Bronze) are given within six categories: Brand Design, Food Design, Drinks Design, Health and Beauty Design, Household Design, and Luxury Product Design. Check 'em all out here.
