Acer has been honored with three Red Dot Brand & Communication Designs Awards for the innovative and eco-friendly packaging designs of the Acer ebii smart e-bike, Predator Orion X gaming desktop, and the Acer gaming series. Reflecting the company’s commitment to sustainability, Acer has made a conscious effort to use recyclable materials across its product portfolio, significantly reducing waste and environmental impact.

Believing that packaging is a vital part of the product experience, Acer collaborated closely with partners and suppliers to develop solutions that align with the company’s environmental goals. The packaging features a molded pulp paper design, making it fully recyclable while ensuring the structural integrity and protection of heavy products during transport. These designs also simplify the unboxing process for users and extend the usability of the packaging beyond its primary function, allowing them to be repurposed.

Since 2019, the prestigious Red Dot Design Awards has given distinction to projects and brands that achieve exceptional quality and creativity. This year, Acer’s sustainable packaging designs were evaluated and hand-picked by an international jury of experts from thousands of entries, highlighting the originality, creativity, and societal impact of the company’s innovations. Receiving these awards celebrates Acer’s dedication to integrating green innovations into its operations.
