Hybrid Printing for Pharma Lidding

Hapa brought ease of use and simplified maintenance to its H382 Hybrid while making it connectable and adaptable.

Hybrid printing systems, where flexo and digital  are combined in a single system, have been around for a while now. But like anything else in the packaging arena they can always be optimized. A good example was on display at PACK EXPO Booth S-2501 . It was the H382 Hybrid from Hapa. This system is part of the evo+ family of printing systems, a greatly optimized approach to printing the lidding material on blister packs or other lidding materials in the pharmaceutical manufacturing space.

“The advantage of hybrid, of course, is that you can do short runs relying on digital and longer runs relying on flexo,” said Steve DiAngelis, Strategic Business Unit Manager at Hapa, a Coesia company. “Or you can do variable data like expiration date or serialization information by way of digital and nonvariable information by way of flexo. But what we’ve been hearing from customers is that hiring operator talent to run hybrid systems—or any packaging systems for that matter—has never been more challenging. So we’ve tried to make this machine more connectable and adaptable and easier to use than ever.”
