Sanner GmbH offers a new Brilliance®Tube for effervescent tablets with in-mold labeling (IML) and desiccant closure. The tubes, combined with Sanner desiccant closures, protect their contents against light and moisture. Advantages of the newly launched BrillianceTube packaging include photorealistic printing and more legible product information.
Combined with Sanner desiccant closures, the tubes are best suited for effervescent tablets but also work with conventional or coated tablets and other solid pharmaceutical products. Manufactured using IML technology, the packaging offers customers a wide range of design options and a premium appearance.
The advantage of IML technology is that packaging production and decoration are combined into a single process. Printed labels are placed in the mold and the liquid plastic is injected. The temperature of the plastic causes the label to fully bond with the tube. Additionally the geometry of the tube base ensures that the tubes can be easily packaged in standard commercial sales trays.
Tubes manufactured using the IML technology offer high-quality, photorealistic printing with a choice of textures and finishes. Up to eight colors and metallic effects are possible to make packaging—especially for food supplements—stand out at the point of sale. Labels that are easy to read with smaller font sizes provide more space for important product information. The high-impact, scratch-resistant material is extremely durable. Using modern communication media such as integrated QR codes makes it easier for customers to access additional information about the manufacturer and product.
