Airnov Healthcare Packaging, in controlled atmosphere packaging, continues its strong support of the Chinese market after recent investments in expanding its production capabilities across a range of product lines.

As in shelf-life preservation solutions, Airnov’s products are designed to protect pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and diagnostic products from moisture and oxygen. Airnov’s dedicated diagnostic portfolio includes Hat-Snap, Hat-In and desiccant packets.

Hat-Snap is an active and ergonomic vial featuring a container with temper-evident desiccant stopper. Hat-In, meanwhile, is an active and ergonomic flip-top container featured with an advanced desiccant polymer (ADP) technology integrated into the vial itself, to provide a high moisture barrier, as well as excellent moisture adsorption to protect even the most sensitive test strips and nutraceutical products.

Airnov also produces a range of desiccant packets at its Chinese facilities, located in Changshu and Dongguan. These include the Continu-Strip packets and the rimless packets, available in a wide range of sizes. These packets are typically used in rapid tests, urinalysis strips, Elisa kits and a variety of in-vitro and clinical diagnostic devices.

“The Chinese market continues to be of crucial importance to Airnov,” commented Albert Zhao, general manager of Airnov Asia Pacific. “It is a key reason why we have state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities operating in the cities of Changshu and Dongguan.”

Airnov remains committed to growing its presence in the Chinese market having recently invested in expanding capabilities at Changshu. The modernization of the site 150 kilometers northwest of Shanghai includes the installation of new production lines that enables the company to produce a wider range of products at greater volumes.

This includes Hat-Snap, which is seeing heightening demand due to the growing Chinese market.

“No matter what product our customers seek, Airnov guarantees high quality, complete compliance certification of FDA, EU and NMPA, and a stable supply for customers both in China and around the world,” added Zhao.

Airnov is due to participate in the 19 edition of the China Association of Clinical Laboratory Practice Expo (CACLP). The event was scheduled for March 2022, but is now postponed and set to be held in Nanchang City on new dates of 10-12 June.

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
