PTI Offers Packaging Solutions for Pharmaceutical Unit Dose and Portion Packs
Tuckahoe, NY (March 5, 2008) – PTI Packaging Systems offers solutions for packaging tablets, powders and liquid medications at the Interphex Show on March 26-28, 2008 at the Philadelphia Convention Center, Philadelphia, PA in Booth 4622.
PTI is the distributor in the Americas for Toyo Machine Manufacturing whose headquarters and factory are located in Nagoya, Japan. Jeffrey Crangle, general manager of PTI Packaging commented, “In recent years the pharmaceutical industry has responded to an increased demand for both prescription and over-the-counter products which are packaged for “unit dose” dispensing, i.e. the delivery of a single dose to the patient at the time of administration for institutional use, hospitals etc. Toyo Machine has supplied over 1500 systems to the top 10 Japanese pharmaceutical companies for packaging products into stick packs and four-side seal sachets. This confirms Toyo’s capabilities for class leading weight control, seal integrity and pack presentation. Their high levels of operational efficiency produce exceptional standards of pack quality. Customers include Takeda, Daiichi Sankyo, Mitsubishi Pharma and many others. PTI is pleased to make Toyo’s fully integrated line of packaging machinery available to North American companies.”
Toyo offers high speed multi-lane packaging machines for vertical-form-fill-seal of stick-type packaging and four-side seal sachets. Stick and sachets are small, easy, convenient and perfect for pharmaceutical and unit dose packages containing tablets, powders, dry, solid & liquid medications and supplements. Toyo machinery offers very high levels of operational efficiency, while significantly reducing packaging material usage and waste. Configurations can be designed to meet customer requirements in packaging size, fill volume and various handling specifications.
Crangle adds, “Toyo has the added advantage of offering turnkey (modular) systems that include the important secondary packaging options such as collating, weighing, bagging and cartoning. Most suppliers of stick packaging do all the secondary packaging manually, and Toyo is unique in that it offers these options for complete automation. PTI provides the support of working with a domestic supplier for complete project management, along with the dependability, high efficiency and technical reliability of machine quality for which Toyo Machine is famous.”
