Tamper-Evident Plastic Clamshell Picks Up IOPP Ameristar Packaging Design Award
The packaging integrates tamper-detection features and a sustainable design.
Earning three Ameristar packaging awards in two years, Placon, a designer and thermoformer of custom and stock packaging for the retail, medical and food markets, is continuing to earn high marks for its creative, economical and safe packaging designs, according to the company.
With a 20 percent overall reduction in the size of its footprint, the Hypertherm consumables’ packaging, previously manufactured in PVC material, is now designed with Placon’s EcoStar brand of post-consumer recycled PET rollstock. The 100 percent recyclable packaging now contains a minimum of 50 percent, up to 100 percent, curbside collected, post-consumer content from curbside-collected PET bottles and thermoforms.
