Sun Gro Receives Packaging and Merchandising AwardSource: Sun Gro

The National Retail Hardware Association has awarded a gold medal for product packaging and merchandising to the Black Gold brand from Sun Gro.

The National Retail Hardware Association (NRHA) has awarded a gold medal for product packaging and merchandising to the Black Gold brand from Sun Gro.

Black Gold was recognized for its strong brand design, bold shelf impact and clear differentiation of product types.

“We thought it was vitally important for the industry’s association of independent retailers to be able to provide the industry’s manufacturers with feedback about the types of packaging and merchandising retailers need to help sell products and inform consumers about a product’s features and benefits,” says Scott Wright, NRHA’s vice president of member services.

The Black Gold line of natural and organic soils, amendments and fertilizers is available to independent garden centers nationally from Sun Gro Horticulture. Most of these are OMRI listed, proving by third party review that the ingredients are acceptable for organic gardening.

The OMRI logo on Black Gold products makes it easy for IGCs to promote organic gardening through high quality, verifiable products.
