Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan, considers itself a pioneer in over-the-counter medicines and consumer healthcare products.

That continues with the company’s recent introduction of Rohto Cooling Eye Drops, sold at $5.99 in drugstores, mass merchandisers, and supermarkets throughout the U.S. Rohto Cooling Eye Drops come in an eye-catching, clear bottle that has a non-squirting, single-drop dispenser said to be the only packaging of this kind on the market. The dispenser is sold within a colorful paperboard carton.

The Mentholatum Company, the Orchard Park, NY-based wholly owned subsidiary of Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., originally launched Rohto Zi and Rohto V in the U.S. in 2001. According to Mentholatum, the product is manufactured and packaged by Rohto at its state-of-the-art facility in Japan.

The egg-shaped dispenser is made of a crystal-clear molded PET—a nonreactive and stable material.

When planning the design of the packaging, Rohto kept the following requirements in mind:

• Be easy to use—achieved with an open/close mechanism and single-dose dispenser

• Easy to open, with a twist-off cap that snaps back on to close and seal the dispenser
