Neopac Wins Pair of “Tube of the Year” Awards from European Tube Manufacturers Association

Neopac Wins Pair of “Tube of the Year” Awards

from European Tube Manufacturers Association  

Company’s PLASTIC RECYCLED TUBE and Stylo™ Polyfoil®

Tube with Spatula Applicator take top honors.

Oberdiessbach, SwitzerlandNeopac, a global provider of high-quality packaging for a broad array of industries and applications, earned two “Tube of the Year” awards from the European Tube Manufacturers Association (ETMA). The recognition came in two of the competitions most coveted categories: Plastic Tubes and Laminate Tubes.

ETMA is an association for producers of flexible aluminum, plastic and laminate tubes. Representing the interests of 46 members from 19 European countries, the organization communicates the benefits of tube packaging; each year, its “Tube of the Year” competition showcases some of the tube industry’s most groundbreaking new solutions.

In the Plastic Tubes category, Neopac’s RECYCLED PLASTIC TUBE, which is utilized by Farfalla for several of its 100% natural vegan haircare products, took top honors. Part of Neopac’s EcoDesign family of sustainable solutions and suitable for use with cosmetic products, the RECYCLED PLASTIC TUBES comprise 64% PCR material from post-consumer recycled material (PCR) derived from household waste such as milk, water and juice bottles, and post-industrial recycled material (PIR) from laminate production waste. All totaled, Neopac’s RECYCLED PLASTIC TUBES provide a smaller carbon footprint and lower environmental impact over their lifespan. The tubes are certified by Ecocert, and cleared for full food contact by the US FDA.

SAMSUNG CSC

In the Laminate Tubes category, Neopac won for its Stylo™ Polyfoil® Tube with Spatula Applicator for Canesten, a cream for treating athlete’s foot from Bayer Consumer Health. Features included a special applicator comprised of soft TPE material, allowing patients to apply the cream hands-free – an important benefit as athlete’s foot is a highly contagious fungal infection.

Bayer’s requirement was to develop an applicator geometry that would allow effortless treatment of skin areas between the toes. To achieve this, the material of the applicator needed to be flexible and compatible with the filling material. Neopac incorporated a rotating ring on the applicator to prevent leakage and protect the product. On/Off marking indicates whether the applicator is open or closed and, thanks to a novel ribbing effect, operation of the rotating ring is convenient for all age groups.

The Polyfoil® laminate protects the product against light, air and water vapor diffusion and migration. Notably, the packaging solution was a hit with consumers: approximately 90% found Canesten product application convenient and simple via the enhanced applicator.

Tube Council (NA) Annual Winter Meeting and Awards Dinner February 6th in Los Angeles

The Tube Council’s winter meeting and awards dinner was held at the Renaissance Los Angeles Airport Hotel on February 6th. Attendees included twenty-two member companies with nine tube manufacturing members and thirteen associate members from the supplier and support services sectors. Over forty-five individuals participated.

In addition to a general membership meeting and Council update, the day’s highlights included an open discussion on integrating social media and a new Tube Council website design into the Council’s initiatives. This would offer members, suppliers and product marketers a vehicle to learn about squeeze tube manufacturing, product innovations and trends in the marketplace. An updated website will be introduced later this year.

Associate Members of the Council were invited to present updates on their companies activities. Aisa, Avery Dennison, Sibo Group and Silgan Dispensing Systems made enlightening presentations on their product offerings. In addition to the member presentations, members were invited to attend and enjoy a presentation by the meeting’s guest speaker, Molly Garris, Senior Manager, Digital Strategy, U.S. Beauty for Johnson & Johnson Consumer, Inc. Ms. Garris’ presentation “Show Me Your Shelfie” highlighted trends in the skin care category for the millennial versus the general market. She engaged the entire membership with her insightfulness.

The day’s activities culminated with a cocktail reception and awards dinner. Tubes were nominated in different market categories, including Personal Care, Oral Care, Pharmaceutical, Industrial and Household and Food markets. Each entry was evaluated for the use of interesting graphics, innovative components or dispensing features. Innovations in sustainability, product components and tube processes were also considered. The top award, Tube of the Year, was awarded to Albea Americas, Inc. for its Nubian Heritage African Black Soap Exfoliant Spot Treatment tube. The full list of winning entries can be found on the Tube Council website.

We encourage the participation of companies involved with the tube industry in the council’s bi-annual meetings. The next meeting is scheduled in conjunction with the Pack Expo International Trade Show in Chicago, Illinois, October 14-17, 2018.

Attendees included twenty-two member companies with nine tube manufacturing members and thirteen associate members from the supplier and support services sectors. Over forty-five individuals participated.

In addition to a general membership meeting and Council update, the day’s highlights included an open discussion on integrating social media and a new Tube Council website design into the Council’s initiatives. This would offer members, suppliers and product marketers a vehicle to learn about squeeze tube manufacturing, product innovations and trends in the marketplace. An updated website will be introduced later this year.

Associate Members of the Council were invited to present updates on their companies activities. Aisa, Avery Dennison, Sibo Group and Silgan Dispensing Systems made enlightening presentations on their product offerings. In addition to the member presentations, members were invited to attend and enjoy a presentation by the meeting’s guest speaker, Molly Garris, Senior Manager, Digital Strategy, U.S. Beauty for Johnson & Johnson Consumer, Inc. Ms. Garris’ presentation “Show Me Your Shelfie” highlighted trends in the skin care category for the millennial versus the general market. She engaged the entire membership with her insightfulness.

The day’s activities culminated with a cocktail reception and awards dinner. Tubes were nominated in different market categories, including Personal Care, Oral Care, Pharmaceutical, Industrial and Household and Food markets. Each entry was evaluated for the use of interesting graphics, innovative components or dispensing features. Innovations in sustainability, product components and tube processes were also considered. The top award, Tube of the Year, was awarded to Albea Americas, Inc. for its Nubian Heritage African Black Soap Exfoliant Spot Treatment tube. The full list of winning entries can be found on the Tube Council website.

We encourage the participation of companies involved with the tube industry in the council’s bi-annual meetings. The next meeting is scheduled in conjunction with the Pack Expo International Trade Show in Chicago, Illinois, October 14-17, 2018.
