Faller Packaging has produced complete packaging for the Munich start-up iuvas' sippa drinking aid. The manufacturer of pharmaceutical secondary packaging supported iuvas from the planning and artwork to the production and packaging of all components.
Due to demographic change, the world's population is getting older on average. As a result, there are more and more people who are restricted in their movements. The Start-up iuvas has now developed sippa, a solution to a daily problem faced by carers. The drinking system allows the user to drink without having to lean their head back.

The safety of the drinking system during transport was also an important criterion. In addition, there was a great deal of time pressure due to the tight schedule for the product launch, which meant that delivery times and supply chains for all packaging components had to be closely coordinated.
Faller Packaging produced the complete packaging for this and supported iuvas from the planning and artwork through to the production and packaging of all components. At the start of the project, the specialist's development department gained an overview of all the individual parts to be packaged. The experts worked out possible solutions and optimised the entire packaging piece by piece.

The Integrated use as a special design and the two small inner folding boxes were manufactured by the Subsidiary PackEx in Worms, which specialises in individual solutions in small quantities.
