Sachet adds unit-of-use cachet to iconic lubricant brand

Vf/f/s pouch machine allows HR Pharmaceuticals to launch a sachet version of its medical and personal lubricants.

Think of iconic packaging brands and the likes of Coca-Cola and Campbell’s Soup may come to mind. But in the world of personal and medical lubricants, there’s a rich history in the blue-and-white tube of H-R® Lubricating Jelly that dates back to 1925. That’s when Margaret Sanger and J. Noah Slee imported the product from Germany and started Holland & Rantos. HR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. still sells the 4-oz product in the venerable tube, but as of late August, the company gave the tube a partner—a sachet—available in 3-g and 5-g versions.


HR’s product launch was made possible due to a packaging materials and machinery purchasing arrangement with supplier Winpak Ltd. (www.winpak.com).
