Institute of Packaging Professionals 2003 AmeriStar Award Winners

The Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP) is the leading individual membership organization serving the educational needs of the packaging community. IoPP strives to be a central unifying force in packaging matters in North America, and to be a leading and authoritative packaging association for the benefit of its members, the packaging community and society.

Each year, IoPP holds the AmeriStar Package Awards to honor the best packages of the year. AmeriStar Award winners are selected by a group of independent judges--each experienced in the packaging business and with specific knowledge about each of the 14 categories judged.

Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals received the Lansmont Best of Show Award for its Actonel 35mg Senior Elite Dosepak®, while the 3M Integrity Award was bestowed upon Perfecseal for its Metaphyseal Implant Package.

All of the AmeriStar winners will be displayed at the "Showcase of Packaging Innovation" at PackExpo Las Vegas in October. To learn more about IoPP or the AmeriStar Awards, visit IoPP online at www.iopp.org, or call 630-544-5050.
