Medical packaging

Medical TOP-TIER K NOW-HOW

In the service of healthcare

As a company of long standing, we can rely on many years of experience in the development and production of high-barrier packaging films and pouches for the food, pharma and non-food industries. The manageable size of our business and our state-of-the art infrastructure make it possible for us to develop innovative and flexible solutions for varying requirements.

In medical and pharmaceutical applications, the requirements imposed on packaging are particularly strict. The most rigorous hygiene standards must be maintained not only during the packaging process but also in the manufacture of the packaging material.

Needless to say, fully documented traceability in all of our processes is a must. From development and composite production to the conversion of reels or pouches (with or without sealed spouts), all manufacturing steps take place in-house. To assure optimized protection of your valuable medical and pharmaceutical products, we pledge to serve you with flawless quality packaging. Our know-

how and experience in manufacturing highbarrier packaging and in understanding all relevant applications in many different fields spans over almost 100 years of continuous investments and innovations.

In brief: ■ Food safety standard to BRC/IOP as well as GMP. ■ Traceability – safety and reliability.

■ In-house manufacturing – fast and competitive.

■ Employee responsibility – competent and customer-oriented.

■ Our motto – tradition and experience.

Success is our driving force!

Packaging is our passion. So we never rest and keep working on the further optimization of our products. According to the motto “as much as necessary, as perfect as possible” Every day, the specialists in our development department are at work to find new and better packaging solutions precisely tailored to the packaging content and consumer expectations. To assure that our solutions interact seamlessly with all processes to which they are exposed, we tailor them to the product and to the stress profile, for instance on the customer’s filling and/or pouch sealing line.

We accompany each new packaging solution until it is integrated in our customers’ production environments and thoroughly test the usually complex composites on their machines. It is on the machine that application technology factors such as sliding properties or sealability are crucial.

Quality assurance Our laboratories regularly test new materials to determine their suitability for our composites and conversion products.

Our test equipment: ■ Tensile testing units for determining interlayer adhesion and sliding properties.

■ O2D units for determining oxygen permeability.

■ Infrared spectrophotometer for identifying substances.

■ Microscopes for determining layer structures.

■ Gas chromatograph (GC) for determining residual solvent concentrations.

■ And much more.
