Rethink. Reduce. Redesign: Help Prym Build the Future of Sustainable Packaging

Collaboration & Implementation Potential

Prym Consumer is actively seeking to collaborate with external innovators to bring innovative & sustainable packaging solutions into real-world application. As part of this challenge, Prym is open to working with startups, researchers, and design teams to co-develop and test promising concepts that align with its sustainability and brand goals.

Selected teams will have the opportunity to pilot their solution in collaboration with Prym — gaining access to product samples, expert feedback, and a real-world testing context. For particularly innovative or scalable solutions, Prym is open to long-term cooperation in the form of work contracts, licensing agreements, or other forms of venture clienting partnerships.

All information about the focus area “Sustainable Packaging” can be found in the corresponding tab.

Why participate?

This challenge offers startups, research-based innovators, and industry experts a unique opportunity to collaborate directly with Prym Consumer — a globally active provider of sewing and knitting products with a strong commitment to sustainability and brand innovation. Prym is seeking feasible, near-term packaging solutions that can be piloted and, if successful, scaled across its extensive product portfolio.

By participating, you gain the opportunity to validate your packaging concept in a real-world setting and lay the foundation for a long-term collaboration with an established industry leader.

• Concrete Offer: Participants are expected to submit a well-defined concept with a clear outline of materials, feasibility, estimated costs, timeline, and potential next steps for piloting.
• Pilot Opportunity: Selected teams will work closely with Prym experts to refine their solution and implement a pilot with selected products and customer touchpoints via the Prym Academy.
• Implementation Readiness: Prym is looking for packaging solutions that are realistically implementable within 6–12 months.
• Long-Term Collaboration: Based on pilot outcomes, Prym is open to long-term cooperation — ranging from work contracts and licensing models to broader co-development partnerships.

This is your opportunity to become a trusted innovation partner and bring your sustainable packaging solution into real-world application — with the backing of a market leader and a clear path to scale.
