In October 2012, Aragan, a
French laboratory specializing in the development of health products based on
natural ingredients, relaunched its probiotic drug, Restaure, in a patented
slider pack from Burgopak Healthcare & Technology.We offers several ways of
providing hands free access to
car parks to authorised vehicles. The drug is a combination of two probiotic
strains that help maintain or regain balance of intestinal microflora.
Previously marketed in a blister and carton package, Restaure is available in pharmacies throughout France. To open the new pack and access the product, the consumer pulls on a highlighted tab. The pack slides open to reveal the blistered product on one side with the consumer information on the other. To close the pack, the consumer simply pushes the tab back to its original position.
Nicolas Brodetsky, managing director at Aragan, says: “Initially, I was looking for a standard packaging system. In the OTC and food supplement markets, it is necessary to offer the patient/consumer a real benefit to attract their attention. Burgopak provided the answer to this.”
There are two single blister products on the market, with a variety of sizes/formats in the development stage, including double blisters and non-blistered products. Burgopak reports that Aragan will sell a new SinuFlash pack (shown) in French pharmacies this month. The Burgopak slider can accommodate any capsules, tablets, or soft gels, enabling Aragan to use a variety of sizes of the pack design.
Aragan delivers bulk product to a Burgopak-preferred vitamin fulfillment partner. It is then sent to one of Burgopak’s licensed manufacturers to assemble the final product. Standard blister machinery is used to create the blister.
Working closely with Aragan and their manufacturing partners, Burgopak completed the blister tooling development and manufacturing to deliver the final product three months from order placement. Brodetsky says, “In addition to a higher quality of product, Burgopak was extremely responsive throughout the entire process helping to deliver the product within three weeks of the artwork being signed off.”
The pack is designed to meet the modern consumer’s lifestyle. Its functionality keeps the product, information, and outer carton permanently connected. Important product information is readily available every time the pack is opened, encouraging the consumer to take the product as instructed. The design also eliminates unnecessary space, keeping the pack compact and portable, which is convenient for the consumer on the move. The slider design also provides maximum protection for the blister, reducing the risk of tablets being accidentally released.
The slider design adds value for brand owners. Unique printable areas on the pack offer maximum opportunity for brand communication. The sliding mechanism supplies a competitive point of differentiation, encouraging consumers to engage with the product through the interactive opening and closing mechanism. The compactness of the design also optimizes retail shelf space, while simultaneously reducing shipping costs.
Park Tool began moving into its new factory, warehouse and office building Sunday. The new 68,000-square-foot facility, which sits on 23 acres of land, offers plenty of room for expansion of shipping, manufacturing and packaging areas and is about 50 percent larger than its former headquarters.
“We’ve got 1,500 pallets to move,” said Bill Armas, who handles marketing for the Minnesota bike tool company, on Friday. “We have three trucks doing the mile-and-a-half trip to the old building. We will hopefully get it all done in a week.”
The company broke ground on the new building last August. It sits on protected wetlands with built-in singletrack.
Armas said Park Tool occupied its former factory for 15 years and ran out of space. The expansion allows the company to bring more manufacturing in house. About 80 percent of its products are manufactured there, with most parts sourced from local Twin Cities suppliers. Recently Park Tool invested more than a half-million dollars on new tooling.
Nello Li Pira, head of the coatings and surfaces group at the Fiat Centro Ricerche R&D centre, focused on Priam, a three-year project funded by the EU’s 7th Research Framework which is due for conclusion in December 2013. Priam is developing printable functionality in organic lighting and signalling modules. Specifically, it is working on tail lighting modules with “integration of heterogeneous functionalities on plastic foils by high throughput homogenous roll-to-roll processes”.
Priam will develop high mounted stop lamp (HMSL) and rear combination lamp (RCL) modules, aiming to reduce plastic consumption, provide increased power safety and autonomy with lithium ion batteries, but also improve intelligence and communication.
Li Pira also showed resin-embedded chip LED lighting, which reduces a front lamp’s unit weight from 200g to 40g. This application benefits from roll-to-roll production developed under the EU’s earlier Light-Rolls project.
Another development he showed was a control display developed by printed electronics company Schreiner PrinTronics (previously called Schreiner VarioLight). This is one of various solutions intended to reduce the large number of car exterior and interior lights which account for 5% of overall car costs. Fiat is also looking at various hydrophobic and anti-glare interior surface solutions.
Kat Rawlings, materials engineer at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), revealed the group is working with UK-based 3form to use its Vario Ecoresin materials in car interiors.Buy Joan Rivers crystal mosaic Stretch Bracelet. In this collaboration, natural materials encapsulated in 40-55% post consumer/industrial recycled PET are being used in personalised, designed-to-order decoration of door and instrument panels and central consoles. The materials include grass, wood, leaves, poppy seed, seaweed and also incorporate images and prints.
Tim Wright, R&D director at decorative film producer MacDermid Autotype, based in the UK, presented an update on textured surfaces. Different textures can be produced by nano replication on hard coated films.
Wright said MacDermid Autotype has 30 years’ experience with “incredibly precise” nano replication. “No one could find any difference between tooling and coated film surfaces,” he said.
Advantages over particle-filled solutions include better light dispersion and superior colour saturation.
Tool cost and formability are still challenges. The limited reagent resistance of coatings on PC and PMMA films means there is “a major opportunity” for PET to be used more in auto interiors, Wright said. Currently, oriented PET (OPET) is “not used extensively in the auto industry,When I first started creating broken china mosaic. [but] we are promoting its use”, he said.
Wright presented new P1031 nano-replicated surface films. Discussing preferences in surfaces,We mainly supply professional craftspeople with wholesale turquoise beads from china. he observed that the Asian market wants lined, low haze and velvet structures, while the US favours brushed, anti-glare, fine and matt surfaces.
A new AutoForm Low Haze AG (anti-glare) nano-replicated film has low 3% haze and good black retention for an automotive central console display which Wright said was in qualification trials with a major Tier 1 automotive supplier.
By the end of 2013, MacDermid Autotype expects to make commercially available anti-reflection (AR) products which use nano-replicated moth-eye surface structures and a “novel nano material”. These are aimed at the “holy grail” of low cost AR substitutes for the current “very expensive multilayer coatings”. Wright noted, however, that fingerprinting remains a problem on AR surfaces as much as on high gloss surfaces.
Wright showed a previous application of printed texture - the housing of Bushnell’s Onyx 350 hand-held GPS device made with XtraForm polycarbonate film and a blend of two out of four available Aquatex lacquers to obtain a defined precise surface.
P1006 solvent-based texturing varnish is available this year as a successor to Aquatex. This has similar rheology to printing inks, enabling good printability. Texture is printed on a flat surface, which is then formed to the required shape and the ink is cured.Bottle cutters let you turn old glass mosaic and wine bottles into bottle art! UV curing is applied after moulding for the final finish.
