Design & Materials Engineering
Barrier & Test Methods
We report OTR (ASTM D3985) and WVTR (ASTM F1249/ASTM E96) under stated conditions, along with puncture and seal strength data. Foil laminations provide very high gas/light barrier; EVOH helps control oxygen ingress while retaining weight efficiency.
Printing & Artwork Guidelines
-
Dieline with bleed/quiet zones; barcode clear area ≥ 3 mm recommended.
-
File: CMYK, 300 dpi equivalent for raster; vector logos preferred.
-
Variable data (lot code, color bar) and window placement supported.
Sustainability Options
Where regulations allow, mono-material PE/PP designs can be explored for recyclability while balancing barrier and machinability. Printing with reduced coverage and window placement can also support material efficiency.
Glossary for Faster On-Boarding
-
OTR/WVTR: Oxygen/Water vapor transmission rates.
-
Seal Window: Temperature–time–pressure range for stable seals.
-
CR: Child-resistant feature (zipper/mechanism).
-
CoA/CoC: Certificate of Analysis/Conformance.
Quality, Compliance & Validation
Sterilization & Clean Handling
Pouch designs can be aligned to your process needs—dry fill, cleanroom packing, or post-fill sterilization. We discuss EO, gamma, or autoclave compatibility case-by-case and provide sealing window guidance to maintain barrier integrity.
Quality & Documentation
Lot traceability, CoA/CoC, and specification sheets are provided upon order. We maintain controlled change procedures and can share material declarations relevant to your validation package.
Validation Workflow
-
Requirement capture → 2) Laminate proposal & seal window → 3) Samples/pilot run → 4) Line trials & feedback → 5) Spec freeze → 6) Scale-up & routine supply.
Risk & Change Control
We establish a change-control protocol (materials, suppliers, specs) and notify customers per agreed timelines. Alternate materials can be pre-qualified to reduce supply risk.
Operations, Logistics & Case Resources
Packaging & Logistics
Export-grade cartons on pallets with corner protection and stretch wrap; moisture indicators/desiccants optional. Labels show item, spec, lot, and net weight to streamline receiving.
Downloadables & RFQ Checklist
-
RFQ form (product, shelf life, fill method, sterilization, size, run)
-
Pouch dieline template (with bleed/quiet zones)
-
Sample request form (quantities, print, variable data)
Mini Case Examples
-
Stability Sachet: Foil PET/AL/PE sachet reduced oxygen ingress during 6-month study; peelable seal improved clinic handling.
-
Diagnostic Overwrap: EVOH-based overwrap balanced clarity with barrier, easing kit identification in cold-chain transport.
-FAQ-
- Are child-resistant options available?
Optional CR zippers or features can be specified; we’ll align with applicable test methods when required.
- Can you help with artwork and variable data?
Yes—CMYK up to 10 colors; variable data, lot codes, or color bars can be integrated for pharma workflows.
