Anti-parisitic Revolt™ Topical Solution housed in customized
version of Neopac’s Twist’n’use™ tube for competitive differentiation.
Oberdiessbach, Switzerland – Hoffmann Neopac, a global provider of high-quality packaging for a broad array of industries and applications, has developed a differentiating packaging solution for a topical antiparasitic solution produced by Aurora Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a US-based manufacturer and distributer of animal health medicines. Featuring the active ingredient selamectin, the recently released Revolt™ Topical Solution is now available via prescription in convenient, high-barrier single-use tubes with a simple, no-mess applicator.
For the project, Neopac produced its Twist’n’use™ tube, a small-volume single-dose solution that, once the cap is twisted, is irrevocably opened. In addition to tamper-evidence, the tube’s permanently affixed cap emphasizes consumer simplicity and offers accurate application of the enclosed product to the area of treatment.
For Aurora Pharmaceuticals, it was important that Revolt™ be packaged in a solution that optimized aesthetics without necessitating an external moisture barrier. Meeting this need, the Twist’n’use™ tube features Neopac’s Polyfoil® technology – a proprietary blend of materials providing advanced barrier properties for products requiring ample protection against moisture, oxygen and other potentially harmful substances. Products housed in Polyfoil® solutions can enjoy a longer shelf life compared to those stored in conventional polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) packaging.
Revolt™ Topical Solution comes in a variety of sizes and strengths, coinciding with the size of the dog or cat receiving it. Versions with 6% API are available in .25ml, .75ml and 1ml tubes, while 12% API is available in .5ml, 1ml, 2ml or 3ml tubes. Neopac’s Twist’n’use™ tubes can hold volumes up to 10ml.
There were some challenges during the partnership, including a chemical compatibility issue, but Neopac’s technical team was able to support and overcome these challenges for a smooth and successful launch.
Thus far, feedback from customers who’ve used Revolt™ has been overwhelmingly positive, with users pointing to its convenient ease of use and attractive brand aesthetics.
“Neopac was the only packaging partner that could offer our sought-after combination of premium barrier protection, small-dose delivery accuracy, chemical compatibility, and overall manufacturing quality,” said Richard Mihalik, Director of R&D / Business Development for Aurora Pharmaceuticals, Inc. “We are especially thrilled with the innovative dispensing design, which provides direct, hassle-free application of a product that would be otherwise cumbersome to apply.”
For the animal health sector, Aurora Pharmaceuticals specializes in developing and manufacturing liquid dosage products in volumes as small as 0.23 mL to as large as 20L. Revolt™ Topical Solution represents the company’s first single-dose topical pharmaceutical approval and launch.

Four women from the Bristol Gulls will take on the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, rowing across the ocean in an Eco Boat to raise awareness around plastic pollution
They will have a 55-day supply of mainly freeze-dried meals packed in Mondi’s award-winning BarrierPack Recyclable, a fully recyclable mono-material that supports a circular economy
The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge begins on 12 December 2020, covering 4,800km from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Antigua
10 December 2020 – Mondi, a global packaging and paper manufacturer, is the main sponsor for the Bristol Gulls, a four-woman team taking on the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. They will be rowing an Eco Boat for the 4,800km race and consuming food freeze dried in recyclable packaging provided by Mondi.
The Bristol Gulls will be the first team to race an Eco Boat in the challenge, underlining their commitment to sustainability and raising awareness around plastic pollution. The boat has been designed and built to have a reduced impact on the environment, by using responsibly sourced materials, recycled content, and renewable energy.
“We wanted the boat to be sustainable, alongside everything else, including our food packaging, clothing, cosmetics and hygiene products. We were thrilled to find Mondi manufactured fully recyclable pouches that would fulfil all our requirements. We have focused on working with companies that show a true commitment to sustainability and felt that Mondi certainly did this,” said crew member Phoebe Wright of the Bristol Gulls.
The crew vacuum-sealed their freeze-dried meals in Mondi’s award-winning mono-material to keep their food safe at sea. Considering the rowers will burn in excess of 5,000 calories per day in their 6 weeks at sea, nutrition is really important.
“Flexible plastic packaging like BarrierPack Recyclable can extend food’s shelf-life, reducing food waste and optimising transport. This is all part of the puzzle when creating packaging that is sustainable by design. It is also important that flexible packaging is recyclable, so it can be part of the circular economy and keep plastic out of the ocean. That is why we are proud to support the Bristol Gulls in their campaign to raise awareness for plastic pollution. We wish them all the best for their epic challenge," said Stijn De Wit, Head of Marketing for Flexible Packaging and Engineered Materials from Mondi.
