The Protein Bread Company wins big at Food & Beverage Industry Awards

The Protein Bread Company, maker of the Protein Bread Loaf, was named Best of the Best at the Food & Beverage Industry Awards in Sydney on Friday night.

The company which was founded by siblings Anna and Luke Hopkins had a big night, also taking out the Label and Packaging Design Award.

“It was definitely a surprise. One award was fantastic and that was unexpected. But to take out two was unreal,” commented Luke Hopkins.

Asked what was behind the success, Anna Hopkins put it down to a willingness to innovate.

“I think we just always ask why. Why does something have to be like that? Why is this like this? We’re constantly questioning,” she said.

“We never do what everyone else does. We’re just looking for how we can do things a bit differently,” added Luke.

The Protein Bread Loaves are packed in a unique, stand up carton that sits on shelves much like a milk carton.

The packaging includes a cardboard outer for protection. In addition, the stand-up bread carton has great frontage and shelf presence, and clearly highlights the product and its key features.

The Food & Beverage Industry Awards were again a great success. Hosted this year by Channel Seven’s Larry Emdur, there were 15 awards in all.

Food & Beverage Industry News would like to thank the award sponsors – Flavour Makers (Platinum Sponsor), Newly Weds Foods (Australia), Mintel, HACCP Australia, B-d. Farm Paris Creek, SMC, and Kimberly-Clark Professional. Without their help, these awards would simply not be possible.
