Pouches

Rollprint Packaging Products Inc. is investing $1.25 million in a new multi-configuration pouch manufacturing line for sterile medical and other demanding applications, the company reported in a press release. The global packaging material supplier has purchased a Ritemed 900 CHB machine from Water Line (Mezzovico, Switzerland); installation in its Addison, IL, cleanroom is expected by the end of the year.

SteriPack is preparing to open its new ISO 13485 certified facility in Lakeland, FL, marking the debut of its U.S. medical packaging converting operations. The facility is also currently able to accommodate contract packaging and manufacturing services and is expandable to include future contract engineering and testing services, which the company offers at locations in Europe and Asia.

Rollprint Packaging Products Inc. reports that the 6000-sq-ft cleanroom it announced earlier this year to produce sterile medical packaging pouches has received certification as a ISO Class 8 cleanroom. The cleanroom houses five production lines capable of producing a variety of pouch structures, including header bags and pouches with chevron, vented, three-side weld seals, corner peels, and others.

Technipaq Inc., an ISO 9001/ ISO 13485 certified manufacturer of flexible sterilizable packaging materials for the medical device, diagnostic, pharmaceutical, and other industries, has launched a new Web site. The site has been redesigned to enhance navigation and expand access to information about Technipaq’s product lines.

Rollprint Packaging Products Inc. has announced the construction of a 6000-sq-ft cleanroom for converting pouches. With the cleanroom expected to be fully operational in the second quarter of 2012, Rollprint continues to be a leading pouch converter for the sterile medical market. The ISO Class 8 cleanroom will be using rollstock produced at the same facility in Addison, IL.
