In the consumer section, Constar International won a gold and a technical innovation award for its one-litre PET bottle, which allows Britvic long life orange juice to be poured in while hot. Second gold star in the section went to Betts Plastics for its “stylish and exceptionally well engineered piece of plastics packaging” for Glaxo’s auto-injector device for the anti-migraine treatment Imigran.
