\"Sintermast<\/a>Procter & Gamble Company in Cincinnati is seeking new ideas for applications of 3-D inkjet printing to add consumer appeal to packaging, as well as collaborators to bring those ideas to fruition. The campaign to find these ideas and partners is contained in a new challenge on InnoCentive<\/a>, which has a deadline of 30 October 2013 for submissions (free registration required).<\/p>\n

InnoCentive in Waltham, Massachusetts conducts open-innovation, crowd-sourcing competitions for corporate and organization sponsors. InnoCentive calls this kind of competition an electronic request-for-partners challenge that requires a written proposal.<\/p>\n

Procter & Gamble<\/a> is looking for new or existing proprietary technologies using three-dimensional inkjet printing that can be applied to packaging to increase the appeal or value to consumers. Methods or processes that can efficiently deliver a variety of active materials on packaging surfaces will also be considered.<\/p>\n

In this competition, Procter & Gamble asks participants to submit only non-confidential information in their proposals. Submissions will then be evaluated by the company, which will contact the entrants with the ideas to be pursued.<\/p>\n

There is no set monetary prize awarded to winning entrants. Compensation for the winners and other terms will be determined in subsequent partner contract negotiations.<\/p>\n
