PRODUCT UPDATE
Enhance Compliance with Cartons
Folding cartons get
attention and offer product protection.
Folding
cartons are available for ethical and OTC pharmaceuticals, medical diagnostics,
and medical device products. The company uses both visual identification and
electronic inspection for carton control, and strict control guidelines are
applied in printing, die-cutting, and finishing. CAD systems ensure precise
and accurate structural designs for automated cartoning equipment and electronic
prepress technology. Howell Packaging, Elmira, NY.
A half-carton,
half-wallet pack resembles a top-load glued carton that fits into a pocket.
The BoxWallet combines features of a wallet pack with the security, strength,
and convenience of a carton. When the top cover is opened, the wallet pack for
blisters is built into the carton and can be used like a normal wallet pack.
When closed, it is fully enclosed, and the four side walls—two of which
form a double wall—provide protection from compression. The BoxWallet can
be provided with a reclosable label and fitted with child-resistant features
while remaining senior friendly. Dividella, Wareham, MA.
