PACKAGING NEWS PRODUCTION Stölzle takes silver Stölzle I At the international Starpacks Awards two of Stölzle’s finished bottles were given silver awards for their design and production technique: the Teint Visionnaire make-up bottle from Lancôme and the Ultimate 38 YO whisky bottle from Glenfiddich. In terms of make-up bottles three items were combined in one container: liquid make-up in a glass bottle, a concealer in the lid, and a small mirror to help easy application whilst on the move. Johannes Schick, CEO of the Stölzle Glass group commented: “With both products the trick is in the complex mould construc- tion, and of course also in the extravagant decoration.” In addition to the Starpacks Awards three other products from STO were nominated for the British Luxury Packaging Award. www.stoelzle.com Prizewinning design and product output New two-chamber dispenser Gaplast I Airless Vario Duo is the name given to the newly developed dual dispenser which is now ready for series production. The two-chamber system allows the quantity delivered by both components to be independently adjusted. This means, in concrete terms, that the user can freely choose how much of each component is to be delivered at each shot. The required mix is easy to set and then the pump stroke is self- adjusted. Because the product is based on a normal standard pump it is less costly than similar products. The integrated spring ensures that when in use not so much pressure has to be overcome, and that dispensing is cleanly done. www.gaplast.de Easily adjustable mix quantities photo:Gaplast EN ISO 9001:2008 EN ISO 13485:2003+AC:2009 Packaging for convenience-oriented consumers gets recognition SilverPack 2014 I SilverPack*, with their “Polite Packaging” award, recognises packaging that takes account of the wishes and needs of older consumers. The packages must be easy to open, reseal and dispose of, and the contents must be easy to dispense. In addition to the winner (the Leerdammer cheese brand) the following packages were praised in the body care sector: Colgate Total from Gaba has a hinged cap with a large recessed grip area which saves the user the problem of screw- ing the cap open and closed. Drogeriemarkt DM and Mibelle had a carton for a cream jar designed and produced by Carl Edelmann. Here a half-moon shaped strap display- ing the message “Open here” shows the easiest way to open the pack without too much effort. *The award is a joint initiative of the Meyer-Hentschel Institute and the Feierabend online service for older people www.silverpack.org ᕡ Half-moon shaped flap shows how best to open the pack ᕢ Toothpaste tube with hinged cap and large recessed grip eliminates the problem of screwing open and closed ᕡ ᕢ photos:Meyer-HentschelInstitut photos:IOM3 COS1409_32_News_Packagin_GB_COS1409_32_News_Packagin_GB 25.08.14 13:21 Seite 33
