During the 12th edition of Pharmapack Europe, which took place in Paris on the 13-14 February 2013, the Pharmapack Awards ceremony unveiled the most innovative packaging developments for drug, veterinary products and devices placed in the French market between December 2011 and 2012.

Pharmapack Awards Winners 2013 Pharmapack Awards 2013:  innovations for better compliance and ease of use Held at the end of the first day, the Pharmapack Awards 2013 ceremony revealed the most innovative solutions in packaging and delivery systems for medicinal and healthcare products to reach the market between November 2011 and December 2012. The panel of judges paid particular attention to innovations that resulted in real benefits for patients in terms of improved compliance with treatments. ♦♦♦ "Compliance category", NovoPen Echo by Novo Nordisk. This is the first insulin delivery device to combine a memory function and half-unit dosage system. The memory function displays how many units of insulin were last delivered and when, enabling children to manage their own treatment autonomously and self-inject their insulin more easily. This new device introduces an element of fun into the patient experience with a variety of stickers that can be used to personalise the pen.

♦♦♦ "Ease of use and process simplification category", Arnica RH (Radix) DIS by Weleda. This cardboard packaging system comprises a tamperproof closing device. Once opened, the vials (or other pharmaceutical products) can be removed easily. The box also offers the added advantage of being resealable.

♦♦♦ "Easy use for ambulatory care category", blister pack carrying case, STI Plastics. This range of blister pack carrying cases has been designed to store, transport and protect plasters, blister packs, patches, etc. The packaging is made from 100% recyclable plastic and is available to suit all products of all sizes. It is quick and easy to open, and practical to handle. It is available with a day/night opening system for medicinal products packaged in a single blister pack.
