In the category of Resource Efficiency, Amcor Formpack Advanced Blister Design was awarded an Alufoil Trophy for a major advance in its Formpack blister pack.
The Advanced Blister Design is based on an existing blister pack, which was re-engineered such that the material consumption has been reduced by more than 30%, while simultaneously improving the moisture protection of the drug by over 40%.
Professor Dr Markus Prem, head of judging and principal of the Department of Food Packaging Technology at the University of Applied Sciences Kempten, said: “There is a clear functional improvement of the pack through greatly enhanced moisture control, as well as a marked reduction in material use. To achieve this greatly enhanced performance with 30% less material is a major achievement.”
In the category of Technical Innovation, Amcor Flexibles was awarded a trophy for Amcor Alufix Dry Smart, the new peel-off end membrane suitable for sealing non-retortable cans.
