LaserSharp® Marking on Tide® Ultra OXI Boost wins Best in Class at the 2026 PAC Global Awards

LaserSharp® Marking on Tide® Ultra OXI Boost, launched with Procter & Gamble in 2025, was named Best in Class at the 2026 PAC Global Awards. LasX and P&G R&D won the Package Innovation Design – Labels category, presented at PAC's Futures Edge Summit in Toronto.

What's on the pack

The marks are on the dosing cap: fill lines for small, medium and large loads, and the OXI logo, laser-marked directly into the polypropylene. They replace molded-in or printed dosing indicators. There is no ink, label or adhesive, so the cap stays a single material. The same process marks the bottle's back panel, where laser-marked text and graphics take the place of a printed label.

Why it matters to a brand owner

The mark is part of the package, not something applied to it. Artwork changes are a file change, not a tooling change, and the same pass can carry date and lot codes or serialized content. Packaging World reported that the caps run in round-the-clock commercial production and meet APR and RecyClass design-for-recyclability guidelines.

“We’re honored to be recognized amongst key packaging industry stakeholders,” said Tom Weigman, Vice President of Technology at LasX. “Our LaserSharp® Marking technology enables new applications for consumer goods and demonstrates the future of packaging. We’re grateful for our collaboration with P&G in the pursuit of more efficient, sustainable solutions.”
