Medical Packaging

Printed medical packaging paper — specified for dimensional stability and print consistency, because the print carries regulated information.

What it is.

A medical pack's printing is not decoration; it carries batch codes, expiry dates and regulated text that has to be legible and machine-readable at the point of use. That makes print consistency a compliance property, and it starts with the paper.

So the grade is specified for low stretch — a sheet that grows or shrinks puts a multi-colour print out of register and moves a barcode out of tolerance — together with uniform ink absorption and good smoothness. The sheet is also specified tight and opaque, with strong water resistance and high tensile strength, because the pack has to survive handling before it is opened.

Applications run from plaster and mask packaging through device packaging to the instruction leaflets inside the carton.

Typical applications
