Aspirin sachet wins competition

A high-barrier laminated sachet for a granular Aspirin Effect product from Bayer Vital, Leverkusen, Germany, was chosen as Foil Pack of the Year by the European Aluminum Foil Assn.

Pw 13372 Aspirin Effect

The lamination of 50-ga polyester/1-mil aluminum foil/2 mils of low-density polyethylene is produced by Alcan Packaging Singen.

The product is unique in that the 500-mg dose is in the form of dry soluble granules that can be taken directly in the mouth without water for fast assimilation. Bayer’s Web site says the granules are flavored to taste like cola and orange. The product is highly hygroscopic and requires a hygienic package, so the barrier properties were critical, the judges noted. Plus, it’s user-friendly and it uses a minimum of packaging material. The product is packed by the Schorndorf, Germany, plant of Cardinal Health Contract Services.
