    Aptar Pharma, a leading provider of innovative drug delivery systems, has announced that its patented Freepod® nasal spray device with GlaxoSmithKline's Otrivin® has received a Medical & Pharma category award at the World Packaging Organization (WPO) 2019 WorldStar Packaging Awards ceremony, which took place on May 15, 2019 in Prague.

    The WorldStar Awards Competition, hosted by the WPO, recognizes the continual advancement and excellence in packaging design and technology, and is considered to be one of the most prestigious international packaging awards events.

    GlaxoSmithKline's Otrivin is well-known globally for providing temporary relief of nasal congestion. Aptar Pharma's Freepod, a multi-dose preservative-free nasal spray pump, with GlaxoSmithKline's Otrivin was recognized by the WorldStar Awards jury for its sustainability impact.

    Aptar Pharma delivers the Freepod as a single component to the GlaxoSmithKline factory, which contributes to less packaging materials and more products per pallet during shipping from the manufacturer to the filling site. According to GlaxoSmithKline, this results in an improvement of 20% fewer CO2 emissions per shipping pallet due to the improved packaging.

    Howard Burnett, Aptar Pharma Vice-President Global Account Management, commented, “We congratulate GlaxoSmithKline on this prestigious WorldStar Packaging Award win. At Aptar Pharma, we're very proud that our patented Freepod technology has been recognized with GlaxoSmithKline's Otrivin as a deserving winner in the Medical & Pharma category of the WorldStar Packaging Award.”
