ULMA strengthens medical and pharma packaging options

ULMA Packaging UK has announced it has expanded its range of packaging solutions for the medical and pharmaceutical industry.

The firm revealed it has created bespoke solutions to meet the specifications of any type of face mask, regardless of shape, size, or type of fastening used.

ULMA added that its machine capabilities are suitable for packaging both surgical and FFP2 masks. The company’s range of machines can be used to package in both individual formats and groups. This includes flow wrapper packaging machinery technology with automatic face mask feeding systems. An array of materials can be used including plastic, aluminised film, medical paper and Tyvek to protect the products from microorganisms and humidity.

It is also possible to incorporate technological systems for labelling and coding to aid traceability for all the data that must be included on the product, such as the batch numbers or barcodes.

Ed Williams, sales director at ULMA Packaging UK, said, “At ULMA, we are specialists in packaging sterilised products and medical devices. This not only includes high-grade face masks, which has been a key packaging focus for the business as we’ve expanded our offering, but across all kinds of medical and pharmaceutical solutions. From flow pack, flexible and rigid thermoforming, vertical, traysealing and shrink wrapping options, ULMA can apply the latest in packaging innovation and technology to best meet the needs of medical and pharmaceutical products.”
