Novemer 3, 2009 - Amcor Flexibles, licence holder for the micro-perforated Tstix® package, has announced that this packaging solution has won The President's Award Bronze at the recent WorldStar Packaging Awards.

Tstix® is an innovative alternative to tea bags and pods. More than 1,100 micro holes create a clean and convenient tea experience - no spoons, no mess, no drips and no fuss. Consumers can now enjoy a cup of tea at any time, no matter where they are. Simply put the Tstix® in a cup of hot water and stir until the drink has the desired strength.

"Tstix® responds to many consumer needs. The micro-perforated stickpack enables flavour control, is convenient and simple in its use and leaves no mess behind," explains Mike Carroll, Market Director at Amcor Flexibles. "The Tstix® concept is not limited to applications in the tea segment. We also recommend this unique packaging solution for other instant beverage products like coffee or fruit flavoured beverages."
