Slim Cardboard Trays: new standards in parenteral packaging
Uhlmann Pac-Systeme’s Slim Cardboard Trays are designed to reduce material consumption and transport volume. Shown here with four pens in a folding carton, they are also suitable for formats such as syringes and vials. The Parenteral Tray Center PTC 200 handles tray erecting, loading, and packaging. This paper-based solution offers an alternative to plastic trays and helps reduce material and logistics costs.
Material-Efficient Tray Solution for Parenteral Products
Uhlmann Pac-Systeme, a specialist in pharmaceutical packaging machines, has developed a new cardboard tray for parenteral packaging. The solution features a slim and lightweight packaging design and reduces material usage and transport volume. The Slim Cardboard Trays can be flexibly adapted to different formats such as vials, ampoules, syringes, and injectors. The Parenteral Tray Center PTC 200 aligns the trays, fills them, and packs them into folding cartons, enabling smooth integration into automated processes.
Optimized Design for Greater Efficiency
This particularly slim tray design was developed as part of a customer project. The experts at the Uhlmann Packaging Competence Center took particular account of the customer's specific requirements regarding dimensions, processes, packaging costs, and sustainability targets. In this case, the application involved optimizing syringe packaging and switching from plastic to paper packaging material. The number of syringes per pallet could be increased by 60% compared to the previous solution. This is based on a modified packaging pattern that allows more syringes per folding carton, more folding cartons per case, and thus a higher product density on the pallet. The customer's essential requirements for product protection, process reliability, and efficiency are consistently implemented.
With its new Slim Cardboard Trays, Uhlmann Pac-Systeme offers a cost-effective packaging solution for pens that meets the growing demands of the market.
