When Kayla Dehnert tells friends and family in Northern California about life as a St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital patient, she pulls out a string of beads taller than she is.
Kayla, 8, of Novato, Calif., is one of hundreds of St. Jude patients who have participated in the hospital’s Legacy Bead program since its launch in 2009. The program offers patients and their families a tangible way to illustrate their journeys using 55 glass beads as unique as the children who collect them. Patients receive vivid green cylindrical beads for blood transfusions; sapphire round beads for lumbar punctures; tear-drop beads in assorted colors for homesickness; and blue, triangle-shaped beads for clinic visits. Other beads mark triumphs such as the completion of radiation or chemotherapy or challenges ranging from cancer’s return to the death of a friend.

As early as age 25, women can begin to show the first signs of age in the form of fine lines and wrinkles, crow’s feet, and loss of skin clarity and radiance.

Market-leading food company Engro Foods in Pakistan recently relaunched its flagship milk brand Olper’s in Ecolean’s lightweight packaging. The unique shape and large printing surface of Ecolean’s 250 ml Aseptic package will make Olper’s brand stand out on store shelves in a category dominated by traditional carton packaging.
Earlier this year, market leader Engro Foods rebranded Olper’s to further differentiate it from other brands in conventional packaging. Ecolean’s lightweight package offers easy tear-off, pouring and handling, making the new Olper’s 250 ml an obvious choice for all modern consumers. Furthermore, the package can be used in microwave ovens, which is perfect in a country with a strong tea drinking tradition.
