Cubed container takes top award

Taking top honors in the National Assn. of Container Distributors' (www.nacd.org) 2007 Packaging Awards Competition, EcoLab, Inc.'s ProForce(®) all-in-one cleaning products packaging was designed with sustainability in mind. The 1.5-gal high-density polyethylene container—used for the company's Multipurpose and Bath & Bowl cleaners, sold at Sam's Club—was designed with load-locking nubs at the top that fit into corresponding indents on the package below, eliminating the need for shipping cases. The package's six components, which include a 16-oz spray bottle and spigot nested into the container's side, were supplied by TricorBraun (www.tricorbruan.com).
