On display at the first day of the easyFairs Packaging Innovations show today (Feb 29) at the Birmingham NEC, packaging component producer Global One-Pak is unveiling the “world’s first” anti-bacterial commercial dispensing pack: steriGOP.
Targeting the healthcare, catering and janitorial markets, the first product available in the steriGOP packaging range is a 750ml white bottle with an anti-leak trigger spray, but GOP plans to extend the range to the consumer market over the coming months.
The UK-based company – which provides components including trigger sprays for the household market and lotion pumps for the personal care market – says the steriGOP range has been independently tested and is: “Proven to combat illness-causing bacteria such as MRSA and E. Coli, reducing bacteria by 99.99%.”
GOP director Bharat Mistry says steriGOP is: “Ideal for high hygiene areas where hand soap, lotions and cleaning sprays are shared. The packaging combats the spread of germs by ensuring that bacteria on the outer packaging is eradicated, preventing cross-contamination between users.
“The steriGOP range is the only packaging of its type, which kills bacteria for the lifetime of the product,” he adds.
GOP is a supplier to some of the UK’s biggest retailers, including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda-Walmart, Morrisons, Netto as well as some of the most respected global brands including WD40, Jeyes, Milton and Oxi-Clean.
