Six steps to achieving consistent induction seals in caps
Consumer product packaging managers frequently complain that their sealing process on induction seals in caps is not consistent. That can lead to waste or unhappy customers. Here are some simple steps that may resolve your problems: 1. Air gap: Make sure the air gap, the space between the top of the cap and the bottom of the sealing head, is set as required. 2. Torque: Torque all caps to the required level. Too much torque can be as troublesome as too little torque. 3. Sealing head alignment to conveyor: The sealing head must be parallel to the conveyor. The distance from the top of the conveyor belt to the bottom of the sealing head must be the same from one end to the other. So unless your conveyor is level, don't assume that the sealing head is level. 4. Bottle travel alignment to sealing head: Ensure that the path the containers travel is along the centerline of the sealing head. Only when the containers are guided along the centerline of the conveyor should the centerline of the sealing head run exactly above the centerline of the conveyor. 5. Line speed: Ensure that line speed is set at the required level and does not deviate significantly during a production run. 6. Power level: Set the sealing unit's power at the required level.

Tf/f/s systems for medical kits
The task of securing the supply chain and the need to adopt a layered approach using overt and covert security features often seems overwhelming; companies don't know where to start or what technologies to invest in. That was a key message taken from anti-counterfeiting sessions at the 2008 Americas Technology Summit, an event focusing on brand protection and sustainability held in San Juan, Puerto Rico April 16-17. Americas Technology Summit was sponsored by National Label Co. and MWV .

Through the years, there has been little change in the appearance of packaging materials and components in delivery systems for injectable drugs. The material science and manufacturing technologies that go into the creation of these systems, on the other hand, have undergone significant advancement. In this article, guest author Fran DeGrazio of West reports on the drivers behind the manufacturing systems for injectable drugs, and what can be expected in the future.

Counterfeit drugs and other products have recently been the subjects of one or another problem. China has been recognized by companies, the Food & Drug Administration, and other governments as a problematic source of counterfeit drugs for years. So what's the answer, are Chinese products and ingredients immediately suspect?
