Airnov new rigid plastic tube with desiccant stopper
Airnov Healthcare Packaging, a global leader in controlled atmosphere packaging, unveils a new 27mm desiccant stopper at Pharmapack 2021 on Booth F50. A key benefit is that the new stopper is perceived as very easy to open, a common problem cited by many patients who sometimes struggle to open cylindrical tubes of tablets and medication.
Furthermore, the stopper uses fewer raw materials and is therefore lightweight. The newly used polymers are sourced from renewable-focused suppliers, helping reduce the carbon footprints of those who use them.
Airnov new stopper gives protection from moisture
This represents a key step for Airnovas it seeks to bring more sustainable solutions to the market.
Stéphane Rault, global product manager, Airnov, commented: “This new stopper gives advantages to improve the easy opening of packaging by patients and shows how Airnov continues to engage more in the development of sustainable solutions, which is helping to reduce our impact on the planet.
“Most importantly, this product represents an answer to our customers’ needs and has been developed based on feedback we have received from them.”
The new lightweight, sustainable and practical features do not compromise the core function of the stopper, which is to protect the moisture-sensitive nutraceutical, probiotic and pharmaceutical products (among others) inside tube-style packaging.
Available globally from Q4 2021, the new stopper range will be produced in various formats and colors to suit clients’ specific needs.
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.
