The Spin Jug represents a true revolution in the world of liquid packaging and dispensing. It’s not just a new design but a tangible solution to the challenges millions of people face in their daily interaction with liquid products. This package introduces an innovation that blends functionality and design, prompting us to rethink how the simplest objects can enhance our lives. And it is precisely because of this ability to transform the life of people that we believe this project deserves to win the Materials and Components Award at Worldstar 2024.
At its core, the Rotating Jug is composed of two key parts: the jug itself and a curved base with an optimized friction surface. Together, they work to redefine the liquid-serving experience. When you gently spin the jug on its base, the liquid—whether it’s water, oil, or juice—flows smoothly and with control, eliminating the effort of lifting and handling heavy containers. The smooth rotation on a curved base allows for a consistent and controlled flow, improving precision and preventing spills. This simple yet effective breakthrough, inspired by nature, turns a mundane task into an act of precision and ease.
What makes the Rotating Jug truly stand out is its focus on universal usability. It has been designed with all users in mind, including those with reduced mobility or physical limitations. The ability to dispense liquids without physical effort or complex motor skills opens new doors in terms of accessibility, allowing more people to perform this task independently. It’s an advance that improves the general user experience while addresses a real societal need.
Technically, the container has been developed as a monomaterial solution, facilitating recycling and contributing to a more sustainable supply chain. Additionally, the versatility of the sliding base allows it to be produced in a range of alternative materials, from recycled plastics to more sustainable options such as wood or aluminum. This flexible approach ensures that the Spin Jug not only meets current industry demands but is also ready to adapt to the growing ecological requirements of the future.
The design of the Spin Jug, with its introduction of a highly textured, low-friction base, capitalizes on the inherent sliding and structural properties of materials—something that has yet to be fully exploited in the packaging industry. This innovative approach to material interaction redefines functionality, demonstrating a more efficient and adaptable use of existing resources. By leveraging these material qualities in a novel way, the Spin Jug stands at the forefront of its category, making it a strong candidate for the Materials and Components Award.
Space optimization has been another of our key goals. both models are designed to stack efficiently in refrigerators and pantries respectively, turning storage areas into neat, functional dispensing stations.
the Rotating Jug embodies the spirit of innovation that transforms user experience, improves accessibility, and responds to the sustainability challenges facing our industry. This project is ready to make a real difference in the global packaging market.

The Spin Jug is available in two distinct models, each optimized for specific use cases. The Spherical Rotation Model, designed for a 360º rotation, is ideal for tabletop use. This model allows users to easily dispense liquids from any angle, for general, everyday situations. On the other hand, the Axial Rotation Model is specifically engineered for front-facing dispensing, making it perfectly suited for placement in refrigerators and pantries. These models provide adaptable solutions for diverse user needs and environments.
The Spin Jug redefines the user experience with its innovative dispensing system and brings significant improvements in areas that have long challenged packaging design.
Another key strength of the Spin Jug is its ability to enhance content protection and preservation. By allowing users to dispense liquids directly from the storage position, it minimizes unnecessary movement, reducing exposure to external factors like temperature changes and light that can degrade the quality of liquids. The jug’s design ensures that liquids are maintained in optimal conditions, extending shelf life and preserving their quality for longer.
From a visual and marketing perspective, the Spin Jug is striking. Its design, combined with innovative functionality, makes it a standout product on shelves. Consumers today are not just looking for practicality—they are seeking products that offer an enhanced experience. The Spin Jug does exactly that. Its sleek, ergonomic form encourages user interaction, while its unique dispensing mechanism creates a memorable experience, fostering curiosity and building brand loyalty—both critical for driving purchasing decisions.
Ergonomics is central to this design. The jug is designed to fit comfortably in the hand, allowing users to pour liquids without lifting heavy containers. This dramatically reduces physical strain, making it an ideal solution for those with reduced mobility or anyone looking for more convenience. The ease of use appeals to a wide range of consumers, making daily tasks more accessible and less physically demanding.
As a monomaterial container, the Spin Jug simplifies recycling and supports a circular economy. The sliding base, not in contact with food, can be made from a variety of recycled or alternative materials, including wood or aluminum, reducing its environmental impact. Additionally, the jug and base can be sold separately, encouraging consumers to reuse the base. Once a consumer owns the base, they no longer need to buy another, leading to more sustainable purchasing habits and reducing overall material consumption.
From a cost perspective, the design also allows for cost-effective production. Manufactured as a single-piece container using accessible materials, the Spin Jug is suitable for large-scale production.
The creativity and innovation behind the Spin Jug mark a significant leap forward in the history of liquid containers. It transforms a simple, everyday object into a cutting-edge solution that enhances both functionality and sustainability. For the first time, a container allows users to dispense liquids with precision and ease while maintaining a visually appealing, eco-friendly design.
