PnP design-a-bag competition opens

As part of its ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, Pick n Pay is launching a design competition to promote fresh local talent and reduce the use of plastic bags.
PnP design-a-bag competition opens

The competition is open to amateur designers who have not yet had any public exhibitions or received public accolades for their design work.

The winning design will be printed on an eco-friendly bag that will go on sale in all Pick n Pay Discount Supermarkets and Pick n Pay Hypers, as an alternative choice to plastic shopping bags for environmentally conscious shoppers, or consumers wanting something stylish rather than a purely functional bag.

Designs can be submitted online and the closing date for the competition is 5 January 2009 at 5pm.

Creative guidelines:


  • The design must be generic, i.e. not limited to a specific season
  • The design must be modern, contemporary, unique and relevant to the more socially responsible person
  • The design must have broad appeal
  • The design need not include the Pick n Pay logo
  • The design will only be printed on one side of the bag
  • The design should be no larger than 39cm x 24cm
  • The design must feature only one colour selected from the colour palette - see below
