with extremely high stretchability comes the possibility to replace plastics with striking and personal packaging solutions in exciting shapes. billerudkorsn&aumls fibreform&reg&nbspoffers new opportunities for all kinds of packaging solutions where previously traditional papers have had their limitations.&nbsp where traditional papers have previously had their limitations, fibreform excels. deep embossing, thermoforming and a wide range of coatings and barriers can all be applied to create truly unique shapes and packaging solutions for your product.

tyvek&reg medical and pharmaceutical packaging provides durability, compatibility with a wide range of sterilization methods, and the highest microbial barrier of any breathable sterile packaging material. it provides tear resistance, durability, breathability and superior microbial barrier to make sterile packaging which helps ensure medical devices that start sterile, stay sterile throughout their lifecycle.

the high barrier apollo featured a polypropyleneethylene vinyl alcohol polymerpolypropylene multilayer structure protecting its contents from oxidative damage. the packaging is suitable for hot fill, retort and pasteurising applications and offered an attractive, fluted design in the same diameter as a can, with sleeving and labelling options to help it stand out on shelf. the foil seal features a plastic ring pull for easy opening and there is an overcap for reclosing, in a bid to reduce food waste. &nbsp &nbsp

an incap functional drink infusion technology using quickcap technology for german nutraceutical company orthomol has developed by swiss based closure manufacturer vicap systems. vicap closure is a patented solution of vicap systems. for consumers to use the orthomol quickcap, they simply need to fill the quickcap bottle with water up to the indicated mark.

acticospack is an active packaging initiative being developed to help extend the shelf life of cosmetics. the technology is based on the interaction between the package and the cosmetic product. this project will develop an innovative active package that will act as a reservoir of preservatives which will be released into the cosmetic products due to the migration properties given by many polymeric materials like those used in packaging. the acticospack project is developed by a consortium of five sme businesses and is funded from the european union&rsquos seventh framework programme.

the nea technology platform is designed for today&39s most sensitive and fragile formulations.&nbsp a glass ball inside the engine and a spring outside the dosage chamber, the formula never comes into contact with the metal.&nbsp this engine also protects formulas from any risk of discoloration or incompatibility, and for even further protection, it can also be available with a selfsealing actuator to stop the formula from drying out.&nbsp this technology is available in airless with a diameter of 35mm for 30, 40 and 50ml tubes pumps, atmospheric for all skincare and make up

loliware are cups that have been developed to both biodegradable and edible and designed to complement a variety of beverages. drinkers can quite literally start eating their cup as they sip their drink and anything that one can&rsquot quite finish can be composted and degrades in soil within 60 days.&nbsp it is made from vegan, biodegradable ingredients and a fun alternative to disposable cups that might end up in landfill. it has initially targeted the foodservice packaging market but has designs on offering this novelty for other types of food and beverage products.

there are many reasons why eyelashes become sparse. germaine de capuccini&39s full lashes is designed to make lashes thicker, longer and 100 stronger. this densifying booster works on both eyelashes and eyebrows. it works directly from the root, stimulating the production, working to both boost the length and also to increase the strength and thickness of eyelashes and eyebrows. its formula contains matrikine lash and provitamin b5 to stimulate growth, optimise anchorage and repair damaged hair. the brush makes application both easy and precise.&nbsp &nbsp

romaco has created a system allowing&nbspoptical verification of medications in blister packaging, which it demonstrated at the recent achema exhibition. the technology takes advantage of highspeed&nbsp3d scanning methods&nbspwhich allow coding such as micro barcodes to be read on the surface of products at the micron level. it is also possible for individual&nbsppills to be marked with a surface topography code&nbspwhich can be scanned through the packaging and verified against a corresponding code printed onto the blister pack.
