To date, replaceable slide cover has saved pharma company customer 
over $200,000 on information update revisions.

Camden, NJ – Contemporary Graphic Solutions (CGS), a leading provider of high-quality printed components for the pharmaceutical, medical device and consumer industries, has designed a versatile, updatable resource kit for a new, critical medication launched by one of the top three pharmaceutical companies worldwide. The kits include an easily replaced slide cover that, to date, has saved the pharma company more than $200,000 in information update costs compared to conventional kits. 

As its drug constituted a departure from standard medication regimens, the customer realized the need for an introductory educational kit for certified pharmacies, doctor’s offices, clinics, and hospitals throughout the country. This sudden need came about amidst CGS’ production of various other materials used to support this product launch, including pamphlets, brochures, product information sheets and instructions for use (IFU) items. CGS also produced packaging for the drug.

The resource kit contained booklets, pamphlets with stands, flip charts, pocket information guides and two sample cartons containing placebos. However, it is the kit’s versatility, rather than its comprehensiveness, that made the project stand out. 

The kit CGS designed comprises a large box with a slide-on cover. The primary artwork was applied to the slide cover instead of the inside structure, so that the cover could be easily changed should any FDA updates or other critical information changes be necessary. This feature allowed the kits to be produced en masse without worry of them becoming instantly outdated.   

CGS’ flexibility-focused, easily-adaptable approach helped the pharma company get a faster-than-expected start delivering the product to market with all necessary educational components for dispensary personnel. Notably, consolidating all essential materials into one kit simplified the product education process, significantly reducing the need for instructional visits by manufacturer’s representatives.

Just as importantly, the slide cover incorporation provided production flexibility and cost savings, since updating the kits only meant replacing one component. The savings due to this feature alone was estimated at over $50,000 each time the slide cover was revised – which, considering numerous updates since initial launch, translates to savings exceeding $200,000. 

Bob Reilley, COO of CGS/Rondo-Pak commented, “We are pleased to play a role in getting this important treatment into the certified dispensaries and ultimately to the patients. We strive to think beyond just the production of the materials, to how we can assist our clients and have a positive impact on the rollout of their treatments and products from a financial, aesthetic and practical perspective.”

Mondi’s new paper machine at its Czech mill in Štětí is dedicated to producing 100% recyclable speciality kraft paper for shopping bags using a combination of fresh and recycled fibres to prioritise sustainability without compromising on strength
The €67 million investment responds to growing consumer preference and legislative change to reduce plastic waste and demonstrates the company's commitment to supporting the circular economy 
This new paper machine for shopping bags broadens Mondi’s leading portfolio, placing the group at the forefront of European kraft paper production

19 January 2021 – Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper, has started up its new speciality kraft paper machine at its Štětí mill in the Czech Republic. The €67 million investment in the machine makes it Europe’s first dedicated paper machine for speciality kraft paper grades made out of fresh and recycled fibre for retail and online shopping bags. 

The paper machine will produce up to 130,000 tonnes of speciality kraft paper per year, meaning Mondi will have the largest product portfolio for consumer shopping bags in Europe. This includes white and brown virgin grades and now recycled paper grades that can be used in a range of bag applications from fashion stores to online grocery platforms and home deliveries. The EcoVantage two-ply paper produced on the new machine consists of recycled and sustainably sourced fresh fibres and is 100% recyclable.

The European speciality kraft paper market is expected to grow strongly driven by legislation to eliminate waste caused by plastic shopping bags and consumer preference to move away from single use plastic. 

Kalle Taari, Head of Strategy & Product Management Kraft Paper, Mondi, says: “We want to offer converters and brand owners sustainable, 100% recyclable paper-based products for their retail and online shopping packaging. The papers produced on this machine will offer recycled fibre-based products with a natural look, great printability and strength properties, all pre-requisites for consumer shopping bags. We are excited to be rolling out several options from our EcoVantage range throughout 2021.”

Technical details:
The paper produced will have a trim width of 4.4m, with a substance range from 70g to 135g. 
The EcoVantage range can be produced with predominantly fresh fibre-based material, and also offers combinations of fibres composed of up to 100% pre-consumer and post-consumer waste. 
Best combination of fresh and recycled fibres is available to offer required strength to hold groceries and fashion goods. 
Fibres are sourced from sustainably managed forests.

Awards include works with well-known brands Hims, Headspace and an internal COVID-19 campaign. Together they tell a powerful story of self-care and community.

LONDON, ENGLAND, November 5, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Burgopak awarded a triple win at the GDUSA Health and Wellness awards for tactile designs supporting brands pushing the conversation around mental health and fighting social stigma.

The GDUSA Annual Health and Wellness Awards showcase the best in show of Marketing, Packaging and Graphic design in the rapidly expanding Health and Wellness industry. In recent years we’ve seen great efforts to address stigma, eradicate taboo and give us back autonomy over our health and our well-being, and design plays a vital role in this field, to encourage conversation and change the way we view our health.

This year we saw some great examples of healthcare design in the packaging sector, with Burgopak taking home three awards for works with well-known brands Hims, Headspace and a proud internal campaign to show community support during the COVID-19 pandemic. Together they tell a powerful story about embracing our need for self-care and care for one another.

Hims is a brand taking the stigma out of erectile disfunction and hair loss, creating a safe space to talk about these issues with a medical professional and the discretion of an e-commerce platform. For Hims, the packaging design took a minimalist and discrete approach, using craft board to appeal to a wider age range, while offering a fresh and modern feel in this sector. The front panel slides back to reveal first the product brochure, with bold pink branding and playful suggestive cacti imagery and below, a clean presentation of product in an easily accessed fitment. The design is not obtrusive but warm and friendly, creating a healthy and uplifting first experience of the product that sets the scene for building self-confidence and reclaiming control of your body.

Headspace is a mindfulness and meditation app, also making great waves in tackling stigma, by empowering individuals to take a moment to collect thoughts, invest in ones well-being and take time to give mental health the importance it deserves. For exclusive distribution through Boots pharmacy online stores, Headspace created “the gift of you time”, with a collection of physical gift cards that offer a more meaningful gifting experience. Working with Green Gift Cards, communicating the sentiments of this app in a meaningful gifting experience was essential to delivery, and in a time where we are becoming more aware of our carbon foot-print from digital gifting, this new offering provides a more planet-friendly solution with the use of Invercote, by Iggesund Paperboard, which holds high environmental credentials and a mission in building a more sustainable planet.

A pure white canvas creates a calming visual, giving focus to the Headspace character as a warm welcome and friendly face. Pulling the right-hand tab then initiates a pleasing unveiling as the cover character slides away, disappearing into the packaging itself, to display the card in a seamless transition. In gentle font, to the left reads “A little something for your…”, followed by one of four themes Focus, Mind, Health, or Sleep, displayed on the card, and sitting beneath the card reads the phrase “Mindfulness for your everyday life”.

Last but far from least Burgopak also received an award for their internal COVID-19 digital communications. As many of us have experienced, much of the industry and Burgopak clients went into a tight lockdown, with limited travel, access to facilities or contact, and unknown circumstances lay ahead. During the early weeks of the pandemic, Burgopak kept all lines of communications open with regular updates led through e-mail communications and social media. Burgopak are well-known for their ‘one we made earlier’ limited editions, but rather than go to print, Burgopak took to e-mail to offer a message of support for our NHS, with free printable rainbow downloads as were being seen across the UK, to show comradery and community support. These downloads saw great success and donned the windows of many a home with thanks coming in from clients, partners and members of the community.

“Now more than ever we rely heavily on the healthcare industry to keep us driving forward. We are seeing new innovations come through at lightning speed and we are honoured to have offered our small contribution to helping open the floor to these most valuable of conversations. We offer our thanks to our clients and the GDUSA for this recognition.” – Alethea Price, Marketing Manager, Burgopak.

With a refreshing and energetic brand in place, the packaging needed to extend this narrative to the physical with an engaging and enriched unboxing experience.

LONDON, ENGLAND, December 18, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hims is a brand paving the way for health and wellness, taking the stigma out of erectile disfunction and hair loss. With a unique business model that acts as both a confidential safe space to talk about these issues with a medical professional, while simultaneously presenting a discrete e-commerce platform, Hims are empowering men of all ages to take control of their health and wellness.

With an exclusively digital sales point, visual identity for this brand is key. They place great emphasis on vibrant colours and modern lifestyle elements to bring a fresh and young feel to a topic that has previously been kept to a much more mature demographic. Widening the conversation to men of all ages, the fun and playful imagery of cacti of all shapes and sizes evokes a sense of humour and intrigue, fighting the stigma that may previously have discouraged men’s exploration of these conditions.

With a refreshing and energetic brand in place, the packaging needed to extend this narrative to the physical. As the first touch point and ‘hello’ from the Brand, the moment of unboxing and the sensory experience that follows was paramount to setting the stage and continuing to build on the sentiments of the brand.

Delivered by post, the packaging design presents a minimalist and discrete aesthetic, to provide a degree of privacy while continuing the extension of the fresh and modern feel of this brand. The use of kraft board accomplishes this while maintaining a trendy and organic edge that appeals to a wide audience and age range.

Presented in Burgopak’s iconic Cabrio format, the pull of a ribbon spurs the front panel to slide away, hiding inside the pack to reveal first the product brochure, with bold pink and blue branding and draw attention again to those playfully suggestive cacti. Removing the brochure we then see the product range presented in a snug fitment in matching kraft board.

The paired back display and clean lines are unobtrusive, but warm and friendly, creating a healthy and uplifting first product experience that sets the scene for building self-confidence and reclaiming your health and wellness.

We are seeing now more than ever the impact of packaging in the e-commerce landscape. With more people at home, and fewer chances for engagement, the opportunity to reach your audience through well designed presentation, and visceral experiences are key to customer loyalty and growth.

Nandos tap into the value of the gifting experience, with new product presentation that leaves a long lasting impression and greater brand impact in the home.

LONDON, ENGLAND, December 21, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The thought of Christmas automatically brings to mind images of family and friends, shopping and gifting, and of course…food! Well what more perfect way to combine all three than with a Nandos Gift card!

Transcending culture, age or gender, Gift cards are one of the easiest gifts to purchase and the most welcome gift to receive, but they are also one of the most easily hidden away and forgotten. Done poorly they risk a lack lustre unboxing and a lost opportunity, but done well, the ultimate gift card experience can demonstrate thoughtfulness, value, excitement and importantly build an emotional connection between gifter, receiver, and brand.

That is exactly what Nandos encapsulated with their latest giftcard experience. Designed by Burgopak Packaging, to reflect the bold and zesty peri-peri taste of your classic Nandos dish, the packaging design incorporates pops of colour, with subtle symbols and spot UV texture to create both a visual and a tactile sensory experience.

The black minimalist outer-packaging, creates an air of value and exclusivity, which is extended through the innovative opening mechanism. To the right of the pack is a small pull tab – as this is pulled out, the cover of the pack appears to retreat inwards to hide inside the pack unveiling the gift card in a seamless and unexpected unboxing. This interactive mechanism heightens the product value providing an engaging and memorable experience for the recipient. In turn, this evokes a more sensory and emotional appreciation of the product, creating the ideal dynamic between gifter, receiver and brand.

By acknowledging the value of this gifting experience, Nandos have created a product presentation that leaves a long lasting impression and greater brand impact within the home. This not only increases the likelihood of future use, but also the sharing of the experience with friends and family. At this time of year, and in light of current restrictions as a result of the pandemic, the demand for gift cards has accelerated. When there are few opportunities to engage with your consumer, now is the perfect time to invest in gift card packaging, and offer customers a more valuable and enriched gifting experience.

Mondi creates sustainable paper-based packaging for Goood, Interquell’s sustainable alternative to organic pet food brands
By using packaging made from renewable resources, Mondi reduces plastic usage and CO2 footprint with innovative paper-based FlexiBags
Collaborative approach means Mondi supports Interquell in meeting their sustainability commitments

15 January 2021 – Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper, is launching two new paper-based bags for German pet food producer Interquell, delivering both consumer convenience and sustainability benefits.

The pet food manufacturer asked Mondi to create two sizes of paper-based packaging bags with a functional plastic barrier for its sustainable premium Goood dog food. The innovative FlexiBags meet Interquell's goal to reduce the amount of plastic used while ensuring premium product protection and convenient handling for consumers.

Georg Müller, CEO Interquell Petfood, comments: “Sustainability is key for us: we invest heavily in the protection of natural resources and work with as many local materials as possible. We also support environmental initiatives, such as with our partner One Earth – One Ocean, who remove 10kg of plastic from the oceans for every 10kg of dry food we produce. At the same time, it is essential that our products are protected in their packaging so that our high-quality pet food can be transported, stored, and easily served.”

Mondi uses up to 50% renewable resources to produce the re-closable paper-based bags. In addition, the base paper production, film creation and final conversion are all managed in-house by Mondi, resulting in a significant reduction of the carbon footprint of the bags.

Emilio Vidri, Sales Director Europe Consumer Flexibles, Mondi adds: “We pride ourselves on our bespoke solutions and personal working relationships with our customers. Using our EcoSolutions approach, we asked all the right questions from the outset to get the best results for our products, customer and the environment. The Goood FlexiBags are a perfect illustration of our commitment to creating packaging that is sustainable by design, and using paper where possible, plastic where useful. Superior functionality fits the premium brand, maintains the freshness of the product, is easy for the consumer to use and results in reduced food waste.”

The new packaging is now on the shelves at German retailers.
