Variable and serialised
data printed effectively
At this year’s ACHEMA,
Atlantic Zeiser
showcased how to
implement cost-efficient late
stage printing of complete
pharmaceutical labels for vials
with variable and serialised
data, achieving abrasion-proof
printing quality.
Using the digital high-speed
Digiline label printing system,
pharmaceutical companies
and contract packers can
replace older technologies.
Shortly before the
beginning of the trade show,
the company reported that two
well-known pharmaceutical
manufacturers decided to
switch to Digiline Label.
“These two orders once again
demonstrate the Digiline
Label’s versatility in fulfilling
a wide range of customer
requirements,” says Frank
Sablinski, director sales
pharma & packaging
solutions at Atlantic Zeiser.
“Thanks to the fully digital
printing technology, print
jobs can be loaded and started
quickly without requiring
mechanical changeovers.
The work station allows for safe and easy removal of any misprinted labels
That can save up to 60
minutes per print job, while
the running expenses
are more than 30% lower
compared with thermal
transfer printing,” he explains.
At any rate, the contact-free
OMEGA DoD UV inkjet printer
is the unit’s centrepiece.
It ensures the print quality on
various label materials such
as paper, PP, PE, and PVC.
Another benefit is that the
print is resistant to abrasion,
light, and solvents.
The downstream work
station allows users to
manually remove misprinted
labels, and replace them
with blank labels which are
about to be reprinted.
This way, there are no gaps
on the finished printed roll.
Thanks to the re-check
function, during which the
camera re-checks reworked
sections, operator errors are
virtually eliminated.

A modular design
means freeze dryer
offers flexible output
At ACHEMA 2018, Bosch
Packaging Technology presented
its newly developed freeze dryer.
The lyophilisation system can be
used to stabilise thermolabile
and delicate active ingredients,
like oncological medications,
vaccines or antibodies.
“Short time-to-market, high
quality and cost efficiency are key
for pharmaceutical manufacturers
and our new freeze dryer is not
only energy efficient, but also
offers short cycle times together
with reliable product quality in
large batches,” explains Annabel
Madero, product manager at
Austrian subsidiary SBM.
Its modular design makes the
GMP-compliant freeze dryer
suitable for the production of
small batches for clinical trials.
