Thank you for Subscribing to Life Science Review Weekly Brief
Over the last few years, stringent local and national regulations have impelled the life sciences sector to deliver sustainable packaging. This is to preserve the efficacy of products at end-use while ensuring material compatibility with manufacturing processes, sterilization processes, and transportation. Also, they have to make sure that package designs do not cause unintended consequences within the sustainability spectrum that influence economic, environmental, and social responsibilities.
Additionally, brands that fall under the umbrella of the life sciences sector—be it pharmaceutical and medical device companies—struggle to rightly manage packaging artwork and labels. This challenge can be addressed by leveraging pre-approved content and artwork. Using cutting-edge technology, labeling content and artwork changes can be traced easily while eliminating the risks of errors. Companies should also adopt solutions to create an audit trail of feedback and changes for enhancing the content and quality at every stage of the labeling process. By automating the packing process, organizations can minimize the cost, improve productivity, and deliver products to customers quickly, more efficiently, and securely with less waste. Life sciences companies can utilize automation for data collection, quality checks, perform proof reading, compare files, verify barcodes, and many more. The technological advancement in the packaging also helps in reducing the pressure of increased regulatory oversight on the life sciences industry by enabling players to adhere to regulatory requirements across different geographies.
To help organizations select the efficient packaging solution providers for their business-specific needs and achieve all their long-term business goals, we present the “Top 10 Packaging Solution Companies - 2021.”
Aptar CSP’s Activ-Film™ material leverages the company’s patented three-Phase Activ-Polymer™ platform technology to manage the device’s internal atmosphere, adsorbing moisture that could otherwise accumulate and affect the implant’s stability and performance. Controlling the humidity within the device protects the battery and enables it to have little to no degradation during its use life. Aptar CSP Technologies Activ-FilmTM materials enhance product stability in ways that are invisible to consumers and more efficient for manufacturers. The company announced its Activ-Film™ technology protects two new at-home COVID-19 tests that recently received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
