Neopac secures two prestigious tube awards in the USA

USA – Neopac, a global provider of high-quality packaging and dosing applications for pharma, beauty and oral care, has received two prestigious Tube of the Year Awards from the USA Tube Council for its Polyfoil® tube used for Voltaren Arthritis Pain Relief Gel. 

The tube is Produced on a newly commissioned line at Neopac’s USA facility.

The awards include the Tube of the Year Gold Medal in the Pharmaceutical Category and the highest overall honor, the Michael Hoard 2025 Tube of the Year.

In early May 2025, the awards were announced at the Council’s annual dinner, celebrating innovation and excellence in tube packaging design.

The award-winning Polyfoil tube aligns with Neopac’s commitment to patient-centred and sustainable packaging design. This tube minimises material use, thus showcasing the dedication to environmental responsibility.

The tube not only minimises material use but also maintains excellent product protection and flexibility by using a reduced 0.35mm aluminium barrier to laminate wall thickness.

The tube’s ergonomic design, featuring a recessed grip flip-top cap, is a clear demonstration of Neopac’s consideration for diverse user needs. This design enables easier opening for users with limited dexterity, enhancing the tube’s usability.

The usability of the tube allows for more users, as it can also utilise a table or straight plate to hook the beak shape and pull the tube down with minimal force.

Additionally, the tube features a tactile, soft-touch surface and a secure, audible click closure, providing a sense of reliability and security.

Voltaren’s professional branding is enhanced by the tube’s dynamic five-colour offset print in dark blue, featuring vibrant accents with a silver metallic effect underneath.

“We are honored to receive both Tube of the Year Awards, which not only highlight the Voltaren Polyfoil® Tube’s high-performance barrier protection and standout visual appeal, but – most importantly – its inclusive, ergonomic design tailored to patient needs,” said Marcus Stenlein, Pharma Account Manager Neopac US Inc.

“These awards are a testament to the innovation and dedication of our U.S. team, and they reinforce the importance of blending functionality, high protection, and accessibility in today’s pharmaceutical packaging.”

The US Tube Council is a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing educational resources, information, and networking opportunities to professionals within the tube industry.

The organisation recognises the best and most innovative squeeze tube packaging each year.

These awards recognise Neopac’s commitment to exceptional design and user-friendly usability.
