Bayer Health Care and Berndt+Partner Creality Aspirin Next Generation – The first shaped pouch for tablets
A project led by Bayer Health Care with the support of design company Berndt+Partner Creality, has created the first shaped pouch for packing a tablet, in this case a very traditional solid form product, the Aspirin.
Aspirin Next Generation has a formulation which is more moisture sensitive so packing it in aluminium foil was essential, says Bayer. Working with converter Constantia Flexibles and machinery supplier Romaco Pharmatechnik, the group has created a shamrock shaped pouch pack containing four single tablets. The shaping is achieved by a new machine concept while the visible silver surface underlines the product’s newness and modernity.
By using a paper-aluminium laminate the pouches can be opened easily and individual tablets can be separated and taken for ‘on the go’ occasions, meeting contemporary consumer needs.
