Pharmaceutical packaging is a complex area using a wide variety of technologies and materials to meet the stringent demands of the sector. Interest in advanced packaging and delivery systems is on the rise as pharmaceutical companies look for more efficient and technically advanced methods of getting products to the consumer.
To encourage technical excellence Manufacturing Chemist is supporting the new Starpack Award for the Best Pharmaceutical Pack. Entries should demonstrate a high level of innovation in areas such as meeting regulatory constraints, traceability, anticounterfeiting, child resistance, patient safety, easy open and close, and security.
The Starpack Awards are organised by IOP: The Packaging Society in partnership with Wilmington Media, publisher of Manufacturing Chemist, Packaging Today, Converting Today and SPC. Enter now by visiting www.starpack.uk.com/awards/entryform. The closing date for entries is 26 January 2007.
The glittering awards ceremony and dinner will take place at National Motorcycle Museum on 15 May next year during the UK's largest packaging event, the Total Processing & Packaging Exhibition 2007.
