Event overview
The theft of high-value, easy-to-conceal products is a persistent and growing challenge for retailers. While bulky packaging and locked displays may deter some shoplifters, they’re far from eco-friendly and frustrate genuine shoppers.
To tackle this, we have partnered with the Design Against Crime team at the University of the Arts London’s Central Saint Martins on a new design competition
This design competition with students builds on our previous successes, like last year’s project to tackling losses, frustrations and poor customer experience at the self-checkouts
With the EU Green Deal setting ambitious waste-reduction targets, many traditional theft deterrents are no longer viable. Brand owners and retailers need to think differently.
The students from Central Saint Martins’ BA Product and Industrial Design course will take on the dual challenge to innovate packaging and protection that doesn’t harm the planet.
In this meeting, you will get a chance to see and review the winning designs. This meeting is for retailers, brand owners and academics only.
