Innovative Dosage Formats Matched to Single-Use Convenience

At Tapemark, the innovative marriage of coating and converting technologies has opened new doors for our customers to market products that deliver active ingredients in convenient, single use formats. An "active" such as a drug, vitamin, antiseptic or flavor, is combined with an appropriate single-use pad, oral or topical soluble film, transdermal or topical patch, specialty adhesive, or hydrogel.

The results include product innovations in oral care, skin care, cosmetics, consumer goods, medical devices, and drug delivery - whether over-the-counter (OTC), prescription (Rx), or a combination drug/device product.

As our newest dosage form, Snap! delivers a single dose of a cream, gel, paste, or lotion. This easy-to-use, disposable package requires only one hand to open, offering convenience that's ideal for busy health care providers or anyone who needs "an extra hand." Snap! is available in sizes to meet fill volumes from .5 ml to approximately 5 ml. Because of the unique design of Snap!, virtually the complete contents are dispensed with little waste.
