In FPA's 2009 Flexible Packaging Acheivement Awards competition, the association awarded its Special Citation for Social Responsibility to the World Health Organization (WHO)-approved Coldpack AntiFreeze Backpack developed by Coldpack System. Coldpack refers to the backpack as the AirLiner, an inflatable insulation liner designed to convert a corrugated box into a cooler. It ships and stores flat, taking up little space in a warehouse or during transportation.
WHO field-tested the AirLiner containers in Sudan about three years ago, says David McKinney, Coldpack System's COO. WHO noted that the Backpack met WHO/UNICEF Standard E4/VC2.
