Our Crescent and Stars of Packaging Competition, which is now an international brand, was opened to foreign countries this year. With the Crescent and Stars of Packaging Competition having gained an international nature, Turkey now will select World Crescent and Stars of Packaging. When the number of entries from foreign countries in our competition increases in the future, Turkey is expected to become a global and not only a regional centre of attraction in packaging sector.

Indicating that the finalists who were granted at least Competency 2015 Award in the Competition will be entitled to participate in the WorldStar Competition organised by the World Packaging Organisation and the AsiaStar Competition organised by Asia Packaging Federation, Korkut said, "We will demonstrate the current position of Turkish packaging sector to the whole world in these international competitions which are supported by the member countries of these organisations and in which ASD has been giving votes as the jury member.

We are planning to bring our sector to a more competitive position in the international market. With the Crescent and Stars of Packaging Competition which gained an international nature this year, Turkey will now select World Crescent and Stars of Packaging.
