New trends in the pharma industry create a set of challenges for the packaging:
- A strong trend towards self-administration increases the need for packaging that works seamlessly with pens and autoinjectors
- Many drug candidates need to be lyophilized to ensure shelf-life stability - yet the reconstitution and administration should be as simple as possible
- As most of those drugs are also very expensive, pharma companies are looking for ways to avoid breakage during the entire lifecycle
- Finally, new production concepts such as highspeed filling will only pay off if you combine it with suitable packaging designs
Actually, there is one packaging category that offers solutions for all of those challenges: it’s cartridges. The industry has seen many innovations around this very versatile packaging product in recent years that support patient safety, user convenience, processability and compatibility with injection devices.
In this webinar you will get an overview of new fields of applications for cartridges. We will introduce you to the latest concepts such as double chamber cartridges for lyophilized drugs, cartridges designed for high-speed filling, as well as breakage resistant cartridges for expensive drugs or critical applications.
