Tubes make effervescent energy tablets portable for consumers
In addition to its shrink-sleeved canister format launched in early 2007 and sold at Costco, San Francisco, CA-based Bevology also developed a tube format for its effervescent Zenergize supplements. Introduced in September 2007 and sold in cartons, the products retail in seven varieties at Whole Foods, Walgreens, and Vitamin Shoppe stores nationally and in Los Angeles-area Longs and Ralphs stores. Each is priced at $6.99 for one variety of 10 all-natural servings.

Healthy prognosis for healthcare packaging
Pharmaceutical firms seek packaging line improvements to cut costs, biologics present packaging challenges, and medical device growth is driven by aging baby boomers. These treatment advances bode well for the healthcare/life sciences packaging community. Packaging materials need to offer protection from point of manufacture to the "last mile" where healthcare products reach a patient. Packaging materials must provide barriers for moisture, oxygen, light and heat, and they may include overt and/or covert security measures to combat counterfeiting and diversion. Equipment will need to package products more efficiently, be validatable and versatile.

Air-pouch void-fill system packs a big payback
Health Resources LLC of Hueytown, AL, was established in 1995 as a manufacturer of natural health supplements available by mail order. Today, the company offers more than 400 different SKUs, with products that promote a range of health solutions, including joint relief, heart health, reduced inflammation, and better digestion, among many others. In March, the company began running six AirPouch Express 3 air-pouch void-fill systems from Automated Packaging Systems to protect its bottles of product during shipment. The switch to air-pouch void-fill systems from loose-fill peanuts increases productivity, lessens mess, and reduces costs.

New law to require individual Rx pack numbering
A new law that was widely described as strengthening Food and Drug Administration powers over approved drugs contains a spotlight on packaging that, among other things, will soon require unique numbering of individual packages of prescription drug products. In the FDA Amendments Act of 2007, little-noticed section 913 adds a new section to the law called "Pharmaceutical Security" that calls for federal government officials to "develop standards and validate effective technologies" to secure the drug supply chain against "counterfeit, diverted, subpotent, substandard, adulterated, misbranded, or expired drugs."

Operating room personnel input critical to new peelable chevron header pouch
A nurse/doctor forum convened by Rollprint earlier in the year served as the catalyst for the company's new Duet functional peelable chevron header pouch. Designed to ease pouch access and improve aseptic presentation, the new-generation pouch was developed after operating room physicians and nurses from the Austin, TX, area participated in a packaging focus group. The intent was to glean insight into the pros and cons of existing sterile medical packaging and to better understand what innovative design improvements would help healthcare workers better perform their jobs.
