As an expansion to the well-known Merz stick pack program for the pharmaceutical industry, Merz will present its new development for the production of ACTIV STICKPACKS® at InterPack 2023. The stick pack is equipped with a moisture and oxygen-absorbing additive material and can thus regulate the atmosphere within the packaging.
This protects the products inside the stick pack, such as tablets or micro-tablets as well as powders or granules, from moisture and improves their shelf life and stability.
Due to its special design, the risk of swallowing conventional drying agents is eliminated, as the additive material is firmly welded to the film and designed in such a way that no product is enclosed by it.
This also means that the additive material cannot be removed from the film without destroying the packaging, which additionally contributes to safety in the application of children's-specific medications.
The functional group will be demonstrated on a MERZ SBL50, in combination with a micro-tablet dosing system, which can flexibly fill any desired number of tablets.
As usual with Merz, this additional equipment can also be retrofitted to any SBL50.
