Sanner introduces optimized, patient-friendly packaging TabTec® CR to the market

Based on extensive market feedback, Sanner has developed an optimized TabTec® CR packaging solution that offers manufacturers increased safety and higher efficiency for their solid oral dosage forms. The new TabTec® CR packaging features an attractive, child-resistant design that prioritizes both safety and convenience for consumers while providing high appeal for brand owners. The integrated desiccant technology ensures product stability as well as simpler and more efficient packaging processes.

The demand for patient-friendly packaging solutions for solid oral dosage forms (OSD) such as tablets or hard and soft gelatin capsules is rising rapidly. "More and more people rely on prescription and over-the-counter medications as well as dietary supplements to optimize their health and manage chronic diseases," says Ursula Hahn, Head of Product Management at Sanner. "User-friendliness is a key factor for acceptance and continued use of these products." With the optimized TabTec® CR, Sanner offers a solution that benefits not only patients and consumers in terms of handling and safety. It also meets manufacturers' requirements for brand differentiation, moisture protection, and efficient packaging processes.

Child-resistant and user-friendly

The new TabTec® CR from Sanner features a patented and certified child safety function. The "Push-and-Flip" opening and closing mechanism prevents accidental opening. The sleek and appealing design of the packaging allows patients to discreetly carry it in their pocket when on the go. Combined with brand-specific colors, TabTec® CR stands out on the shelf and appeals to consumers both visually and in terms of application.

Integrated desiccant provides moisture protection

With its integrated desiccant, TabTec® CR offers optimal moisture protection even for highly sensitive products, while ensuring shelf life and stability without affecting the product dosage. "The integrated desiccant chamber in the base sets TabTec® CR apart from many alternative solutions and also offers a high degree of flexibility," explains Ursula Hahn. Manufacturers of OSD products can choose from basic configurations filled with various desiccants such as silica gel, activated charcoal, molecular sieves, and blends, which can be used with the same primary container depending on the need.

Higher line efficiency

TabTec® CR is compatible with existing filling and packaging lines. The integrated desiccant increases the efficiency of the entire line since no separate desiccant addition is required. Additionally, the shape of the packaging offers various options for labeling and secondary packaging. "This makes TabTec® CR an attractive option for a large portfolio of prescription and over-the-counter medications as well as dietary supplements that require desiccants to ensure product shelf life, and that offer convenient and simple handling for 'on-the-go' intake," summarizes Ursula Hahn.
