The demand for patient-friendly packaging solutions for oral solid dosage (OSD) products like tablets or hard and soft gel capsules is increasing rapidly. “More and more people rely on the use of prescription, over-the-counter, and nutritional supplement products to optimize self-care and manage chronic diseases,” says Chris Gilmor, VP Sales at Sanner of America. “Convenience is a defining factor in their adoption and ongoing use.” With the optimized TabTec® CR, Sanner offers a solution that not only benefits patients and consumers in terms of useability and safety. It also caters to the demands of OSD producers for brand differentiation, moisture protection, and efficient packaging processes.
Child-resistant and easy to use
The new TabTec® CR from Sanner features a patented and certified child-resistant safety function. The push and flip opening and closing mechanism prevents accidental opening. The slim and appealing profile of the package enables patients to discreetly slide it into a pocket when using it ‘on the go’. Combined with custom colors specific to product brands, TabTec® CR stands out on the shelf, appealing to consumers both visually and in use.
Integrated desiccant ensures moisture protection
With its integrated desiccant, TabTec® CR provides optimal moisture protection even for highly sensitive products, while ensuring shelf life and stability without interfering with product dosing. “The integrated desiccant chamber in its base sets TabTec® CR apart from many alternative solutions while offering a high degree of flexibility,” Chris Gilmor explains. Producers of OSD products can choose between base configurations filled with different desiccants – silica gel, activated carbon, molecular sieve, and blends –, all which can be used interchangeably with the same primary container.
Increasing overall line efficiency
TabTec® CR is compatible with existing bottle filling and packaging lines. Its integrated desiccant increases overall line efficiency by eliminating the need for independent desiccant insertion. Moreover, its shape provides various options for labelling and secondary point-of-sale packaging. “This makes TabTec® CR an attractive option for a large portfolio of prescription, over-the-counter, and nutritional supplement products that require desiccants to ensure product shelf life, with the convenience and ease of use for on-the-go administration,” Chris Gilmor summarizes.
