This solution caters to the needs of customers who seek unique packaging formats, ensuring that your shaped stick packs are not only attractive but also practical and ergonomic.
Built for Pharma
This machine model comes with any dosing system that aligns with your specific requirements and suits your product characteristics, either for powders, granules, liquids, viscous or gels and so on. Our pharmaceutical packaging machines come with the most complete range of accessories, controls and documentation for any packaging machine:
- Extensive presence of probes and heaters to achieve the highest accuracy and controls of the sealing temperature throughout the whole sealing block.
- Optical controls OCR/OCV for identification, verification, tracing and tracking of variable data and pharma codes on the laminate.
- CFR 21 part 11 for regulating different users access and governing the use of electronic records and signatures in the pharmaceutical industry. This includes audit trail and history of alarms to keep track of all machine events.
- Encryption of Projects and Resources to safeguard projects and resources from unauthorized access.
- OPC UA protocol ensuring the connection to the machine PLC and the data exchange with the customer MES.
- Production Batch Management to create batches, record, save and export all data accordingly.
- Weight control with millesimal weighing cell and feedback to the doser to ensure the highest accuracy and fast retroactive dosing correction.
- Automatic rejections of non-compliant stick-packs.
- Systems for traceability, serialization and aggregation.
- Validation documents DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ as well as FDS/HDS/SDS.

Types of Packages
Formats
Universal Pack machines for shaped stick-packs are specifically-dedicated to single-dose packages. For example, we can dose from 0,1 to 200 gr or ml of product in a shaped stick pack, the dimensions of which vary depending on your marketing goals, nature of the products and production requirements.
Moreover, we provide you with the possibility to easily integrate your shaped stick pack machine in a Universal Pack packaging line for cartoning. Our lines allow you to put from 1 up to 100 or more stick packs in the same carton. We have developed patented counting units for any amount of packages to be picked up and put into cartons. In recent years, our philosophy is to save as much material and product as possible, both for economic and environmental sustainability.
Laminates
Universal Pack machines for shaped stick packs can process all typical heat-sealable composite films, for example: PAP-PE (paper – polyethene), PAP-ALU-PE (paper – aluminum – polyethylene), PET-ALU-PE (polyethene terephthalate – aluminium – polyethene) and cold sealable materials. Our machines can also package sustainable laminates such as PP (polypropylene), PLA (polylactic acid), PAP (paper), Bio-PE (bio-based polyethene), and more on request.

Sustainability
Our non-stop research in reducing the packaging industry carbon footprint resulted in streamlined machinery design for packing recycled, recyclable and compostable laminates. LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is used to measure the environmental impact of our products and identify optimal ways to reduce it. It is a 360° analysis that goes beyond the mere packaging produced and involves every step of the packaging machinery production process. We develop our solutions shoulder-to-shoulder with the main global film suppliers and test them in agreement with major multinational companies in order to provide them with a turnkey solution able to produce eco-packages.
