Medtronic Cardiovascular's Resolute single pouch packaging and the ConforMIS Drill and Pin Kit wallet pack were the two Medical Device category winners honored May 10 at the IoPP Honors & Awards Dinner hosted by the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP).
Addressing the Medtronic package, IoPP says the “innovative single pouch packaging offers significant cost savings in materials, labor, and storage, and 50 percent waste reduction with its competitive 46 percent smaller size, while providing outstanding product protection and improved accessibility.”
The ConforMIS packaged, notes IoPP, is a “customizable multitiered wallet [that] replaces a dual thermoformed tray. Wallet provides protection in the most rigorous distribution environment, uses recyclable HDPE [high-density polyethylene] with 93 percent reduction in space, less energy to produce and transport.” This pack earned the AmeriStar for Beacon Converters.

More than 100 entries were submitted for the annual AmeriStar competition, with 25 winners in multiple categories.
