ACG Pharmapack has received the prestigious WorldStar 2015 Award from World Packaging Organisation for its innovative product, NoMist. An anti-fog packaging film, NoMist bagged the Award in the pharma & medical category, after having won the IndiaStar (organised by the Indian Institute of Packaging) and AsiaStar (organised by the Asian Packaging Federation) awards. The award ceremony was held in Milan, Italy.

The judging took place on November 19, 2014 when representatives from 17 packaging associations and members of World Packaging Organisation, judged 265 packaging projects, from 37 countries, that applied for WorldStar Awards 2015. Companies from 37 countries entered 264 packaging projects in the international competition.

NoMist combines the barrier features of traditional pharma and medical diagnostic packaging films with specially designed anti-fog properties. This technology has been especially designed for pharma diagnostic instruments and food diagnostic test kits where the chances of fogging on the packaging are high, and where in addition to barrier against moisture and or oxygen, see-through clarity is required for detection of sensitive parameters. The parameters could be drug efficacy levels, PH levels, protein levels, etc. It can also be customised for packaging of refrigerated or microwaveable food product where fog or mist builds up on the inside of the packaging material.

In 2013, too, ACG Pharmapack won the IndiaStar, AsiaStar and WorldStar Awards for its innovative product – Alukbliss (a packaging film identical to Cold Form Blister (CFB) foils in appearance yet with the barrier of PVC.)
