URSATEC
Aiming for a
Preservative-
free Future
“
Top 5 Healthcare Packaging Companies 2023
The company's mission is to
spread this technology and
understand the need for
preservative-free products
even further, so more
people can proﬁt from its
technological advantages.

Andreas Bilstein
Managing Director
URSATEC GmbH

n the pharmaceutical industry, the medicines are kept
Ifree from microbial contamination by adding
preservatives to prevent the degradation of products
and avoid the spread of harmful microbes. But
unfortunately, most preservatives harm the tissue of the
body and exacerbate potential preexisting allergies and
diseases.
Considering these challenges, there are organizations that
have a futuristic approach and are producing preservative-
free products. One such company, URSATEC GmbH,
supports the global health industry by providing,
developing and approving preservative-free products.
Andreas Bilstein, Ph.D is the Managing Director of the
company since August 2020. He is a biologist by training
and has more than 15 years of experience in developing
medical devices, food supplements and cosmetics. He has
always focused on preservative-free products for various
applications and indication areas.
What drives him is the development of advanced products
and a better life for people, combining data-driven scientific
research and economic impacts to achieve innovation and
progress.
When Preservative-free Matters
URSATEC GmbH is the inventor and market leader in
dosage systems for preservative-free applications. 'When
preservative-free matters' is more than just a slogan for the
company; it focuses on its actions and its commitment to its
product and service portfolio.
It is well-known that preservatives can cause various
allergic reactions such as allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis,
or contact dermatitis.
The organization supports the global healthcare industry in
developing, approving and producing preservative-free
pharmaceutical, medical and cosmetic products as well as
food supplements.
Wide Range of Preservative-free Products
URSATEC's main cooperation partners and clients are
pharmaceutical, medical device and cosmetics companies,
and offer their customers safe and effective solutions with
their products and trust in the quality – made in Germany.
The technologically sophisticated systems are made to
protect unpreserved formulations for long-term use. What
began as a niche product has risen to a 25-year lasting
success story.
The dosage systems guarantee perfect protection against
microbial contamination while providing all the advantages
of multi-dose systems. They offer safety of use without the
need for any preservatives.
The organization is proud to have initiated a rethinking of
the market for nasal sprays and set preservative-free
formulations as the new standard in Europe. URSATEC is
continuously aiming to improve the dosing systems and
their materials used for improving sustainability and
quality.
The company extends the existing technology by
implementing solutions not only for liquids but also for
semi-solid applications to allow the development of truly
preservative-free emulsions and lotions for skin treatment.
They are also working on optimizing droplet size
distribution and application performance to allow targeted
delivery, e.g. for the olfactory region or lung delivery.
Together with partners, URSATEC works on the digital
augmentation of the pump systems to allow telemedicine
Andreas believes for
everyone starting in this
industry in today’s day and
age, the organization
highly recommends
keeping innovation and
progress as core principles
of every new venture.

approaches, dosing control, filling control, and connectivity
approaches between the users and the health care
professionals.
Adhering to Core Values
Since the core value of URSATEC is to support the growth
of preservative-free products to support the world´s
healthcare industry, Andreas and the company's focus is
based on making healthy and tolerable products suitable for
every age and every need.
Andreas further states, "Especially people with allergies or
sensitive skin often must be extra careful when choosing
cosmetics, food supplements or healthcare products. With
our 100% preservative-free technology, we can exclude
almost all allergic reactions and hence provide healthy
products for everyone."
Accordingly, the company's mission is to spread this
technology and understanding the need for preservative-free
products even further, so more people can profit from its
technological advantages.
Inculcation of Technological Know-how
New technologies are fast forward at a pace that was not
imaginable before. Especially social networks are booming,
and therefore more opinion- leaders now support the
healthcare professionals. With their influence on consumers,
they can quickly lead them towards a certain trend or
product, with consumers following them willingly.
As it is the company's responsibility for planning and
producing industry scale quantities for global players of the
pharmaceutical branch, URSATEC, of course, relies on the
latest IT technologies for their ERP systems, internal- and
external communication tools, as well as documents storage
and exchange.
Besides the digital improvement of its operational side of
the business, the organization also entered the topic of
digital augmentation to allow enhancement of the
customer's experience of drugs and devices.
With Validose, the organization is working on a digital
augmentation of its container closure system, to enable

telemedicine approaches, better patient control, and
application and hence overall more convenience in using
the product.
The Latest Adversities
The innovative device allows the digital connection of
patient and attending physician via apps and prevents false
or even overuse of the prescribed drug by tracking the
prescribed dosage and correlating it with the amount
already consumed in a day. All
this information is then shared
with the physician and can be
evaluated without additional in-
person appointments.
Probably the biggest challenge
every industry and every
company is facing in 2022, is
keeping up the supply chain and
the flexibility to adjust to the
rapidly changing economic
environments of the company
and its customers. That means
developing smart storage and
delivery concepts in cooperation
with customers and suppliers,
rather than taking a solo approach
to solution-finding.
With such smart concepts on
storage keeping, forecasting, and
delivery optimization, Andreas
asserts, "we will also be able to
increase customer demand as
they will also gain security in their planning and supply
chain management."
One-Stop Solution
Increasing the customer's demand also provides a chance
for the organization to further establish its ONE Source
concept and brand. ONE Source is the way to fulfill
customers' expectations and provide the complete value
chain of a product. Starting from the idea of providing
innovative dosage systems, full regulatory support, and
laboratory services up to sterile filling and thus providing
the customers with filled and finished products from just
one single point of contact.
An Intellect's Piece of Advice
Andreas believes for everyone starting in this industry in
today's day and age, that keeping innovation and progress
as core principles of every new venture are absolutely
essential.
He further opines, "Entrepreneurs need to be open-minded
on new opportunities and technologies and hence should be
keen to take a more data-driven approach to solution
finding and scaling their business."
The technologically
sophisticated systems are
made to protect
unpreserved formulations
for long-term use.”

Since regulations and quality are cornerstones of the
industry, they need to be professionally implemented
instead sooner than later and thoroughly connected to
modern IT systems, not only in a company itself but also
with other ventures to achieve maximum impact.
Besides this, Andreas asserts staying calm and patient. He
states, "We are dealing with people´s health, so all risks and
safety measures must be evaluated in-depth, and there is no
space for rushing decisions and developments. Quality,
especially in the pharmaceutical industry, needs time for
the end consumer's benefit."
Futuristic Approach
When talking about the further endeavors of URSATEC,
Andreas asserts that the year 2022 has yet been another year
facing a global pandemic and other challenges around the
world. So, of course, its goal is to provide beneficial
products to a wide range of people and make them
accessible to as many people as possible.
To do so and ultimately scale their business, the company
strongly focuses on finding new partnerships and partnering
companies with whom they can launch innovative products.
URSATEC's Business Development is working with
different online channels and digital events, as well as with
conventional trade shows to be present in the market and to
find new partners.
Further talking about COVID, Andreas states, "If there is
one thing, we can take out of the COVID pandemic, it is the
convenience and scalability via virtual meetings and new
work in general. Those new digital tools will be used by
URSATEC even well after the pandemic is over, to provide
convenient access for our customers and partners and to
enable soaring efficiency of our internal processes and
projects."
Apart from that, the company keeps a close eye on the
market, the developments and trends in the pharmaceutical,
cosmetic and food supplement markets, and hence they
have always stayed on top of the current market needs.

Climbing the Ladder
DaklaPack's transition into the healthcare field was driven
by several innovations and patented products that the team
developed in the early 2010s. The company's Rigid Safety
Bag, which combines a leakproof bag with absorption
material and a rigid layer, allows for medical specimens to
be shipped via the postal and parcel networks inside of a
small flexible mailer instead of the traditional cardboard
box. This makes that specimen can be shipped more cost-
effective, easier and safer.
In addition, the packaging solution can be easily and
quickly opened by the receiver (often medical laboratories).
"It were innovations like these that drove us into the
medical field, and primarily the at-home specimen
collection market. Our core business changed from
packaging supplies to medical kitting and 3PL services,"
adds Klaassen.
Packaging Products and Solutions
DaklaPack specializes in high-quality packaging products
and solutions for various industries, primarily in the
medical field, food packaging and industrial packaging. Its
focus in the food and industrial fields is on niche products,
often the more technical solutions. "For example, we have
developed a disposable bioreactor that is currently used in
potato cultivation. These type of projects is what we
specialize in," says Klaassen.
He continues, "Over the years our medical business has
grown substantially and we run some of the largest medical
kitting projects globally, such as the French and the Dutch
population-wide colon cancer screening programs. In the
past years, we have shifted our focus more and more toward
medical kitting and we offer a wide range of related
services."
"For most of our kitting clients, we assist in the (technical)
design of their collection kit and the procurement of
materials. We can assemble kits on three continents and
provide warehousing and order fulfillment services. In
Europe, we also operate a medical laboratory, which can be
leveraged by our kitting customers who want to expand
their operations into Europe."
Production Process at DaklaPack
"The details of the production process differ for each
market we operate in, but if we focus on the medical kitting

segment, we apply a hybrid project management method.
We have seen this is the most effective approach to
managing the complexity of kitting projects, which includes
various process flows," explains Klaassen.
"From the start we apply a consultative approach, enabling
our customers to utilize our vast experience and know-how
in the design of their products and processes. We typically
have several brainstorming sessions with our clients after
which our team produced several samples of the various kit
concepts our customers are interested in. Once a final
design has been determined we work out a quotation, which
typically includes all related costs to having these kits
made, stored and shipped."
He continues, "After the order is placed, we procure and
produce all required components and schedule kit assembly.
Simultaneously our IT team helps to enable our customers
to integrate with our ordering systems, through APIs or web
portals. Once the first kits have been assembled and
shipped, we usually enter an ongoing process in which we
keep in close contact with our customer to ensure
operations run smoothly and as expected."
Attaining International Standards
DaklaPack has its facilities and procedures certified to
international standards such as ISO9001; ISO27001;
FSSC22000 and is in the process of obtaining ISO13485
certification on its US and European facilities.
Setting Apart from Others in the Market
DaklaPack differentiates itself from other healthcare
packaging companies through a strong commitment to
sustainability, customization, advanced technology,
regulatory compliance and exceptional customer service.
The company prioritizes eco-friendly packaging solutions,
using recycled materials and minimizing waste throughout
production. Its design team collaborates with clients to
create unique, tailored packaging that meets their specific
needs. It invests in cutting-edge technologies to optimize
production processes and enhance product capabilities.
"Our experts stay up-to-date on industry regulations,
ensuring compliance with applicable laws and guidelines.
With dedicated account managers, we offer personalized,
responsive service, fostering smooth communication
throughout the entire project life cycle. These core values
set us apart and deliver unparalleled value to our clients in
the healthcare industry," adds Klaassen.

Overcoming Challenges
For DaklaPack. the biggest challenge by far is to keep
healthcare affordable and accessible. "Our goal is to help
our customers to provide safe, efficient and affordable at-
home self-sampling diagnostics tests. At-home sample
collection takes away barriers and allows people to get
tested whenever it best suits their schedule, in the safety of
their home. As there is no need for medical professionals to
be involved with the specimen collection this also reduces
the overall costs of diagnostic tests," emphasizes Klaassen.
In the medical packaging field, sustainability also presents
challenges. Safe and robust packaging and sustainability
can be tricky to balance, especially in the medical field.
When compared to the food and industrial sectors changes
usually take much longer in the medical field as changes
need to be thoroughly validated before being put into effect.
"To move to a more sustainable way to pack sterile medical
products and at the same time not negatively affect the
properties of the product, while keeping the costs down as
much as possible will be a big challenge for the coming
years," he adds.
Client Testimonial
"DaklaPack is a steadfastly reliable and trustworthy
strategic partner. We discovered DaklaPack in mid-2019
while sourcing kitting components. During that
introductory meeting, Sander and the team proactively
shared invaluable kitting, sample tracking and fulfillment
advice! That left an indelible, positive impression, leading
to our formalizing a multi-year supplier relationship in Dec.
2019. DaklaPack has a collaborative, agile business culture
and a devotion to operational precision and service
excellence. They have invested considerable time and
resources to ensure our success in crucial ways, including
JIT (just-in-time) B2C single unit and B2B case kitting, API
order/fulfillment data integration, cutting-edge kit and
sample tracking, cost-effective component sourcing, and
next-generation technology buildouts; all of which are
scale-ready. As importantly, Sander and the team are always
friendly, supportive, and rapidly responsive which says a lot
given our small company size. As I think back over the last
two years building MySimplePetLab, partnering with
DaklaPack is one of our best decisions and we remain truly
grateful to have their ongoing business and thought
partnership."

Healthcare
Packaging
Innovations in
mbracing change might be strenuous but the
Eneedful thing to carry out for the betterment of
business scenarios. Healthcare is one of the fastest
growing sectors and with a new day, emerging innovations
can revolutionize the sector. Innovative medical products
and pharmaceuticals are becoming a change factor and
these novel products require complex packaging. This
approach has far-reaching effects and without implementing
this, companies will be pushed backward in the race of
change.
As stated by Steve Jobs, "Packaging can be theatre, it can
create a story," continuous innovation in healthcare
packaging is making a big impact on the healthcare market.
While innovative and unique packaging solutions are
around the corner, companies must acknowledge their
significance and implement them for better patient care.
Above all, creating patient-centric, innovative and flexible
packaging solutions will consequently influence the role of
consumers and we must think beyond that for better brand
awareness and optimum patient care.
Advancing Patient Care

Let's dive into the ocean of innovative ways to package
solutions:
Changed Packaging
Intense demands to make packaging better have initiated
the process of easy-to-use and disposable packaging
solutions. Earlier, packaging was an afterthought and it
served only as a means to contain and protect the medicine.
Now, responding to the new materials and delivery
mechanisms, companies are focusing on changing the
packaging according to the odds it faces including
temperature fluctuations, vibration, tearing, shock, etc. Not
just this, the packaging must handle the whole process of
handling, shipping, transportation, and usage.
A smart and sustainable packaging system is beneficial, and
it affects the behavior of customers as well as brand loyalty.
And of course, there is a direct correlation between the
packaging, usage experience and overall engagement.
Hence, solutions come with easy-to-open and flexible
blister packaging. Manufacturing companies tend to use
new thermoplastic polymers by driving change in the
traditional packaging systems.
Track and Trace Technology
While the outer part of the medicine packaging is blended
with innovative technology, the end-to-end supply chain
process also needs protective covering in terms of security.
It is the responsibility of the leader of the company to
ensure the safety of the medicine, making the delivery
secure. Here come modern electronics in the picture
wherein smart track and trace technology is used.
These solutions can be embedded into the packaging of the
medicine and with the control handed over to the leader,
especially CEOs, manufacturing and distribution risks can
be minimized. Such difficulties include temperature
changes, wrong deliveries, counterfeit products, etc. Track
and Trace solution helps CEOs in monitoring the products
and mitigating the risk of counterfeit products.
The Use of Smart-Label Solutions
While the system is incorporating track and trace
techniques, smart-label solutions are the next-generation
solutions to resolve the issues faced by the supply chain in
healthcare. They include errors at shipping and receiving
ends, inefficient processes, etc. To deal with this, smart
label solutions help in shipment verification, backend
integration, removal of human error, following local and
global legislation rules, and improving supply chain
visibility.
An easy example of smart-label solutions is QR codes.
Through this, the product can be tracked, and the
authenticity can be verified. Additionally, in common usage,
smart labels used today are RFIDs, Near Field
Communication (NFC) tags, etc. The RFID labels ensured
an added level of security and safety for the patients in the
hospital. Apart from these solutions, Smart Cabinets are
used along with the RFIDs. These systems keep a real-time
inventory count, and it gets easier to work on re-ordering
products and managing expired and recalled products.
Child-Resistant Packaging
Also known as 'Special-packaging', child-resistant (C-R)
packaging is essential for reducing the risk of children
getting poisoned due to the leakage of medicine.
Additionally, it now demands that customers make the C-R
packaging senior-friendly also. According to a survey,
customers are ready to buy the products if the packaging is
safe and it protects them from hazardous substances.
Such packaging is difficult to open and in general, the
packaging is accompanied by a safety cap. Prescription
drugs, drugs that are sold over the counter, opioids, and
nicotine-containing consumables commonly come in such
packaging. Child-resistant packaging comes in various
ways including blister packaging, sprays, caps and closures,
resistant sliders, re-closable CR cartons, lock4kids, etc.
With every industry changing and adopting innovations, the
healthcare sector is on the verge of implementing and
bringing innovations to the table. The latest packaging
innovations are now in the pipeline, and they are enhancing
patient care. However, cost-effective and business-positive
solutions are the future of the healthcare industry.

How
AI is Changing
the
Landscape of
Neuroscience
Technology compounds. With advances in new
techniques, varied applications, and optimization of
multiple processes and operations, technology has
not only grown as an industry itself but has boosted
developments in numerous other fields as well. One such
modern discipline of technology that opened a floodgate of
opportunities is artificial intelligence.
As human beings, our biggest inspirations have been
characteristics of ours, like kindness, perseverance, and so
on. Similarly, we have been inspired by the intelligence, so
much so that we are trying to replicate its concept in the
form of technology. By understanding the cognitive and
neuroscientific processes behind intelligence and computing
them, we have been able to advance the field of artificial
intelligence with applications in a number of areas, as well
as newer approaches to data conceptualization & analysis,
machine learning, and robotics.
Coming full circle, advancements in AI have played a major
role in the growth of neuroscience as a discipline of
research and application. Advanced AI systems can help
drive neuroscience forward to unlock the neurobiological
secrets of the brain. Basically, it allows neuroscientists and
researchers to build better models to simulate the human
brain. Therefore, as AI technology compounds, so can
neuroscientific findings and approaches.
As a tool, AI aids neuroscience in two distinct ways. First is
the technical aspect, where techniques like machine
learning can analyze complex data from the brain to
recognize patterns that can then be given meaning.
The second aspect is algorithms that hugely evolve brain-
like outcomes and become focal points to examine basic
and underlying ideas in neuroscience. For example,
artificial neural networks, which were developed by
mimicking human neural connectivity and functionality, are
now being used to capture representations of the dynamics
of the brain. Such functions are then used in a targeted
manner to delve deeper into the prospects offered by
neuroscience.
Let's take a moment to reflect on many of these possibilities
that have been explored so far, yielding extraordinary
results. The debate on the involvement of the medial
temporal lobe (MTL) only in memory-related behaviors
versus in the function of memory as well as the perception
was long-standing. But work by Bonnen, Yamins & Wagner

problem, where task-optimized Convolutional Neural
Networks (CNNs) were applied to disentangle the
relationship between perception and memory within the
human brain.
While the results did show perceptual behaviors, what's
more, important is going beyond the debate and focusing on
the use of technology here. The modeling approach used
was faced with solving the same problem that has so far
only been presented to people. But as Bonnen puts it -
"Biologically plausible AI computational methods can help
us understand neural systems beyond canonical visual
cortices."
Speaking of novel tools from AI that can broaden and
formalize our understanding of neural function, another
interesting use of such techniques has been demonstrated by
biomedical engineer Chethan Pandarinath from the Georgia
Institute of Technology. To enable people with paralyzed
limbs to reach out and grasp with a robotic arm as naturally
as possible, he turned to AI.
He fed brain-activity recordings to an artificial neural
network and tasked it with learning how to reproduce the
data. The effort revealed the brain's temporal dynamics —
the way that its pattern of neural activity changes from one
moment to the next — thereby providing a more fine-
grained set of instructions for arm movement than shown
by previous methods.

The aforementioned examples are only two out of the
thousands of studies and applications that have been carried
out, driven by the intersection of AI and neuroscience. This
relationship has also facilitated massive developments in
improving the scope of medical imaging and diagnostics
with superior data capturing and pattern recognition.
In keeping with this, the potential to compute brain
structures and functions, such as neurotransmitter pathways
of white matter lesions, can greatly aid neurology and
psychiatry. AI and deep learning can help optimize different
brain structures and carve pathways to treatment by
enhancing the understanding of neural impulses relayed
from and within the brain. Creating virtual 3D brain
structures has also become possible, and this can give an
impetus to further research and discoveries in neuroscience,
along with fostering a new environment for medical
training.
The future of AI and neuroscience is even more exciting.
Recent efforts to understand and reverse engineer the brain's
ventral visual stream, a series of interconnected cortical
nuclei responsible for hierarchical processing and encoding
of images into explicit neural representations, have shown
great promise in the creation of robust AI systems capable
of decoding and interpreting human visual processing, as
well as performing complex visual intelligence skills
including image recognition, motion detection and object
tracking.
Neurocognitive robotics is another up-and-coming field,
which, as talked about above in the research by
Pandarinath, can revolutionize exoskeletons and robotic
surgeries with the help of transfer learning techniques.
Apart from this, big neuroscience datasets have managed to
automate a major part of neuroscientific research. For
instance, fMRI generates snapshots of activity throughout
the brain at a resolution of 1–2 millimeters every second or
so, potentially for hours. Wading through such vast amounts
of data is now much smarter, and hence, neuroscientists can
focus on what the insights show rather than how to generate
them.
AI models can be used to map the various neuron-to-neuron
connections in the body with quite a bit of accuracy, known
as connectomics. The whole brain - with its pathways and
these neural connections makes up the connectome, and it is
believed that this is what makes you, you.
If one's connectome can be mapped and modeled entirely,
then this data could ideally emulate a person's whole brain.
This connectome-based brain emulation has the potential to
provide novel solutions for many problems related to brain
miswirings, for example, neurodevelopmental and
neuropsychiatric conditions like autism and schizophrenia,
respectively. Furthermore, it can also help in predicting
behaviors, the prognosis of disorders, and calibrating
neuroplasticity.
The symbiotic relationship between AI and Neuroscience is
characterized by the magnitude of impact both disciplines
have on each other. In the future, the synergy between the
two should be expected to increase incrementally. The
challenge for AI experts, neuroscientists and healthcare
personnel will be to establish the right level of translational
ability between the fields.

t is necessary to analyze the products the
Ipharmaceuticals sell must reach the right patient and
there should not be unauthorized access to such drugs
to avoid accidents. To ensure the intended use of the
packing, companies come up with the solution of tamper-
evident packaging for products that are likely to endanger
the lives of people. In general, the packaging comes with
seals, tapes, markings, strips, etc. Along with that, it is also
advised not to use an already opened medicine as it is not
trustworthy to have an intake of the same.
Before visiting the advantages of tamper-evident packaged
products, let's know exactly what is the concept and its
signiﬁcance.
What is tamper-evident packaging?
Also known as tamper-resistant packaging, this type of
packaging is a must-have thing for over-the-counter (OTC)
drugs. According to the deﬁnition by Food and Drug

Administration, 'A tamper-evident package is one having
one or more indicators or barriers to entry which, if
breached or missing, can reasonably be expected to provide
visible evidence to consumers that tampering has occurred.'
The sole use of tamper-evident packaging is to recognize
whether the sealed product has been opened or not. Once
tampered with, the package cannot be repaired and it's
strictly advised to customers to avoid the use of contents of
the same. Moreover, it is also necessary to be 'distinctive by
design' which indicates that the tamper-evident products
must use materials that are not widely accessible to the
general public. The reason behind this approach is to avoid
making duplicate products and sealings.
As open seals or cut lids provide clear proof of used
products, manufacturers can ensure that there remains good
evidence. This way, they can secure their products and
avoid theft, fraud or other compromises also. The second
advantage of a temper-applied packaging is that people
can't remove, alter or damage the product. The most
important thing is whomsoever is using the product, the
packaging must include information regarding the usage of
the same. In particular, it must have a clearly visible seal
and detailed operating instructions so that the person is
fully aware of telltale signs of a tamper-evident product.
Features of a tamper-evident Product
A tamper-evident product alerts consumers to save from
foul play or damaging of the same. When a packaging
product has been tampered with or opened, tamper-resistant
packaging is intended to reveal the evidence. This means
that it frequently checks the following things: whether the
product is single-use and non-repairable or not. Moreover, it
shows signs of tampering and with this, manufacturers
remain tension free as it is the best protection for products.
Additionally, the packaging also takes care of child-
resistant features to prevent unintentional consumption.
Types of Tamper-evident Packaging
Tamper-proof packaging comes in a variety of forms,
however, the right packaging is created according to the
unique requirements and regulations of the particular
industry and the products being sold. It is crucial to find the
ideal balance between creating a package that helps avoid
tampering with products and offering the same product to
customers that they can easily open and use. Some of the
popular packaging types are as follows:
Ÿ Tamper-evident Tapes: These are the most commonly
used types for tamper-evident packaging. They are
efficient in protecting products and preventing
tampering during shipping and delivering the products.
They are applied on Corrugated, metal and plastic
surfaces. They have a highly-visible 'VOID' or
'OPENED' message and we can clearly see the carbon
has been opened when tampered with. The tape cannot
be reused without leaving any evidence and thus, is
regularly used in pharmaceutical industries. After the
deadly pandemic, this scenario has changed and most
manufacturers, retailers, food delivery services and
wholesalers have started using the tapes for a safe
supply chain.
Ÿ Tamper-resistant Cartons: A higher level of security is
provided by tamper-resistant cartons. This type makes it
difficult to access the packaging without causing any
damage. Especially, if it leaves marks or trails of
tampering on the product packaging. Tamper-resistant
cartons are specially designed to stop someone from
opening the contents of the product. As stated, it is
difficult and time-consuming to open such products,
thus ensuring safety. This is a well-liked remedy in the
pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors for reducing the
dangers of consuming tampered-with goods.
Benefits of Tamper-evident Packaging
In general, tamper-evident packaging ensures the safety of
pharmaceutical products and the right people receive the
right care with the right pharmaceutical products.
Moreover, companies and service providers in the
pharmaceutical and healthcare sector need to tackle these
challenges, especially in the scenario of fake products.
When it comes to consumers, it is a threat for them to
receive a falsified product and use of such products might
be hazardous. Companies have to combat this situation and
deal with tampered products. Tamper-evident packaging is a
robust and efficient solution for the protection of patients.
And of course, it creates awareness among patients and
relatives to point out the errors that might be dangerous.
