ACG Pharmapack, a member of ACG Worldwide, has bagged the prestigious World Star 2015 Award from the World Packaging Organization for its innovative product, No Mist. An anti-fog packaging film, No Mist received the award in the pharma and medical category, after having won the India Star(organized by the Indian Institute of Packaging) and Asia Star (organized by the Asian Packaging Federation) awards.
No Mist combines the barrier features of traditional pharmaceutical and medical diagnostic packaging films with specially designed anti-fog properties. This technology has been especially designed for pharmaceutical diagnostic instruments and food diagnostic test kits where the chances of fogging on the packaging are high, and where in addition to barrier against moisture and or oxygen, see-through clarity is required for detection of sensitive parameters. The parameters could be drug efficacy levels, PH levels, protein levels, and more. It can also be customized for packaging of refrigerated or microwaveable food product where fog or mist builds up on the inside of the packaging material.
The award ceremony was held on 19 May in Milan, Italy. The judging took place on 19 November 2014 when representatives from 17 packaging associations and members of the World Packaging Organization, judged 265 packaging projects from 37 countries, that applied for the World Star Awards 2015.
The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has
demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
