Neopac, a global provider of high-quality packaging and dosing applications for pharma, beauty and oral care, has received the Tube Council’s prestigious Ted Klein Tube of the Year Award, along with a Gold Award in the pharmaceutical category, for a novel tube housing the pain relief product Icy Hot®. The awards recognize outstanding achievements and innovation in tube packaging design and technology and were announced at the Council’s membership awards dinner in early May.

Neopac received both distinctions for its Polyfoil® tube utilized for Icy Hot® Pro No-Mess Pain Reliever. Crafted with 0.5 wall thickness, the tube features a bold blue color finished with a matte lacquer. Its sophisticated construction guarantees optimal protection, formidable barrier properties, and flexibility.

Engineered for a "no mess" application, the tube’s easy grip dispensing system ensures a clean, controlled application process, optimizes product consumption and enhances user convenience. The tube also draws praise for its appealing adoptability and portability, with its ergonomic design allowing seamless integration into daily routines.

"We are incredibly honored to receive both the Ted Klein Tube of the Year Award and the Gold Award in the Pharmaceutical Category from the Tube Council,” said Keisha Broadway, Sales Director North America at Neopac. “These accolades highlight our commitment to quality and excellence and are a testament to our team’s continuous efforts in advancing tube innovation.”

The Tube Council is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing educational resources, information, and networking opportunities to professionals within the tube industry. Each year, the organization recognizes the best and most innovative squeeze tubes in the industry by market category. This year, 55 entries were submitted, and all were evaluated by an esteemed panel of judges.
