Demonstrating Amcor’s ability to offer the highest quality in innovative and creative packaging solutions, Amcor Flexibles recived two awards in the prestigious Alufoil Trophy 2014 organized by the European Aluminium Foil Association (EAFA).
In the category of Consumer Convenience, Amcor EMEND Tri-pack Formpack with peelable lidding was awarded an Alufoil Trophy for its greatly improved openability and product protection. The product consists of a peelable lid blister pack, combining a lidding foil and a Formpack coldformed bottom web, provided by Amcor Flexibles for Merck Sharp & Dohme Australia (MSDA).
The EMEND Tri-pack Formpack with peelable lidding is used for medication to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by certain anticancer medicines.
Speaking about the award, head of the judging panel Dr. Mark Caul, technical manager for packaging at Tesco explained, “This particular drug needs to be available when the patient is probably in some distress, so making it easier to access is a major benefit. Also, with an ageing population any format which helps people with less dexterity is very positive.”
In the category of Marketing & Design, Amcor Flexibles was awarded an Alufoil Trophy for Belmoca coffee capsules. Belmoca, a leading producer of beverages, has chosen Amcor Flexibles material to create a very special and eye-catching packaging for their five flavors of premium coffee as well as a milk portion: All portions are packaged in shiny, diamond faceted aluminum capsules in different colors.
“We are honored to be distinguished as an Alufoil Trophy winner for both our Food and Pharmaceutical product ranges,” said Andrea Della Torre, R&D director Pharma, Pet Food, Retort and Technical Foils at Amcor Flexibles Europe & Americas said, “In the Consumer Convenience category, EMEND Tri-pack Formpack is a new packaging solution that greatly increases patient acceptance and compliance, key factors for a medication used in association with anticancer medicines. This trophy recognizes our R&D teams’ relentless efforts to work closely with customers to influence better health outcomes for patients. The Alufoil Trophy in the category Marketing & Design for our Belmoca capsules and lidding material rewards our continuous focus on innovation and our commitment to finding better and smarter ways to improve the end users experience.”
