M&H eyes up award with contact lens bottle nomination

A new bottle designed to provide ease of use for contact lens wearers has been shortlisted for the 2015 Starpack Packaging Awards.

Custom designed by M&H Plastics for EM Pharma Ltd, the bottle enables the user to store a contact lens case on the side of the bottle containing the lens solution.

Using a raised, moulded profile, the case can be attached and removed easily, both reducing bathroom clutter and enabling both the lenses and solution to be kept together.

The bottle, closure and lens case were designed, manufactured and assembled by M&H Plastics, part of the RPC Group of companies.

EM Pharma says in commissioning the new bottle it was looking for a one-stop solution to the issues of contact lens care, using a quality product that would provide a value-added approach through the inclusion of a lens case.

Commercially, the product has been a great success, achieving placement with retailers and major supermarkets.
