Tamper-evident packaging for pharmaceutical products
Why should you consider tamper-evident packaging? For the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, it shouldn’t be a consideration – it’s a must have. With the constant threat of counterfeit, tamper-evident packaging solutions provide safety and security for your consumers. With patient safety risks standing tall you can’t ignore tamper-evident packaging as otherwise you could be putting consumers at risk of receiving falsified products.
Not by any means does implementing a tamper-evident solution bring this illegal activity to a complete stop. However, it certainly helps deter it. With the physical evidence these solutions bring to the pharmaceutical industry, you can help protect your consumers as well as your products.
Tamper-evident tapes
A very cost-effective way of discouraging the altering of pharmaceutical products is Gummed Paper Tape. When activated with water, this tape penetrates the liner of the carton, creating an extremely strong seal – so strong the package is ripped away in the attempt of peeling it back. And, being made from natural resources, Gummed Paper Tape is another 100% recyclable solution.
Although Gummed Paper Tape is a great recyclable solution, activating the product using water can become quite messy and requires an expensive dispenser. An even better solution than Gummed Paper Tape is: Reinforced Self Adhesive Paper Machine Tape. It’s 100% recyclable, provides a consistent seal to your package and has added strength. On top of this, it can be used with any taping machine, meaning there’s no need for a big investment in machinery.
Where Reinforced Self Adhesive Paper Machine Tape really excels in the pharmaceutical industry is the cleanliness. Where no water is required to activate the adhesive, this taping solution is perfect for sterile environments.
