What is Beakx?

Beakx is a groundbreaking product inspired by Okumura Printing’s patented origami dish technology, Beak. It introduces an innovative feature that enables its transformation from box to plate with the use of perforations and folding lines. This allows the product to function effectively without the need for adhesives or scissors, significantly enhancing user convenience and safety.

Evaluation Criteria for the Grand Prize

The JAPAN PACK AWARDS committee praised Beakx for several key factors:

• - Innovative Technology: Utilizing a unique locking mechanism based on the paper's natural resilience, Beakx allows for a sturdy and reliable dish form without additional tools.
• - Social Contribution: Beakx makes a notable impact on disaster preparedness by serving as both food and dish, minimizing water usage by eliminating the need for washing. The product is crafted from FSC-certified paper and produced in a cleanroom powered 100% by renewable energy, showcasing environmental responsibility.
• - Market Novelty: The product stands out in the market due to its originality and has redefined traditional packaging, introducing high added value that transcends typical packaging solutions.
