Uhlmann Pac-Systeme has developed a new cardboard tray for parenteral packaging. The slim cardboard trays can be flexibly adapted to different formats such as vials, ampoules, syringes and injectors.
The solution is characterised by a lean packaging design, reduces the amount of material used and the transport volume, thereby helping to reduce CO₂ emissions in the supply chain. The PTC 200 Parenteral Tray Centre erects the trays, loads and packs them into folding cartons and enables smooth integration into automated processes.
This particularly lean tray design was developed as part of a customer project. The application involved optimising syringe packaging and switching the packaging material from plastic to paper. The number of syringes per pallet was increased by 60 per cent compared to the previous solution.
The basis for this is a modified packing pattern that enables more syringes per folding carton, more folding cartons per case and therefore a higher product density on the pallet. The customer's essential requirements for product protection, process reliability and efficiency are consistently implemented.
„Together with our customers, we develop customised packaging with significantly lower resource consumption, reduced environmental impact and optimised cost efficiency for sensitive parenteral products. This enables sustainability goals to be achieved more quickly and supply chains to be designed much more efficiently.“
