Neopac India, a global provider of tube packaging for cosmetics and health care, and part of the Hoffmann Neopac Group in Switzerland, has received a prestigious Star Award from the Indian Flexible Packaging & Folding Carton Manufacturers Association (IFCA). For the 2024 competition, which recognizes excellence in creativity, design, and innovation in flexible packaging solutions, Neopac India was recognized in the \u201cStructural Innovation & Graphic Design\u201d category for a personal care tube developed for Kheoni Forest Bathing Natural Skin Lotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The award-winning tube exemplifies eco-friendly packaging innovation, featuring Neopac\u2019s PaperX laminate, a specialized material that contains 80% fibre in the tube sleeve and reduces overall plastic content by 32% as well as lowers the product carbon footprint. Enhanced by an EVOH-infused thin plastic layer, the tube ensures exceptional barrier protection. This achievement underscores Kheoni\u2019s dedication to blending sustainability with high functionality and premium visual appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the core of the tube\u2019s innovation is its advanced structural design. The PaperX laminate not only reduces plastic usage but also makes the tube 11% lighter than traditional 5-layer co-ex tubes with 500 microns. This lightweight construction minimizes material consumption, further amplifying its positive environmental impact while maintaining functionality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aligned with Kheoni\u2019s wellness philosophy, the tube\u2019s design seamlessly combines sophisticated branding elements with a premium, eco-conscious aesthetic. Leveraging Neopac\u2019s PaperX laminate, the packaging not only enhances Kheoni\u2019s market presence by appealing to environmentally aware consumers, but also supports the brand\u2019s broader sustainability goals. The lightweight structure and significant plastic reduction work together to minimize the carbon footprint without compromising aesthetics or functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
