Six consumer products — five from the United States and one from India — have been nominated as finalists for the prestigious 2008 Visionary Award.
Now in its seventh year, the Award – which is given annually to a new consumer product that utilizes nonwoven fabrics in its final form – will be presented at the VISION 2008 Consumer Products Conference, February 11-14, 2008, in Fort Worth, Texas. The finalists will make presentations during VISION 2008 and conference attendees will vote on the recipient of the 2008 Visionary Award.
“The Visionary Awards finalists have been selected from more than two dozen nominations from around the world and they represent the most significant advances in incorporating nonwovens technology into consumer products,” says Visionary Award Coordinator Michael Jacobsen, of INDA.
“The six products are being recognized not only for their technical attributes, but for their novel use of nonwoven fabrics as well.”
The six finalists are: 1. Curity Brand Nursing Pad, Covidien Covidien (formerly Tyco Healthcare Retail Group) redesigned its nursing pad into a three-dimensional lemon shape that provides a more discreet fit. It has a thinner fluff pulp/SAP core for improved dryness and comfort as well as a tissue layer on the top and bottom to better contain the core. It also utilizes a softer nonwoven for against-the-body comfort and a pastel pink poly laminate for discretion and to help minimize see through.
