“This investment reflects TestPak's strategic commitment to compliance packaging, and the Pharma SHR solution is a significant step for us to offer our customers the most innovative and cost-effective systems available,” says Bill Eveleth, vice president of sales and marketing.

Pharma SHR has been tested successfully in the United States and Europe to high standards of child-resistance and senior-friendliness, Eveleth says. He adds that, “The reclosable outer carton provides full F=1 child-resistant performance, which means that package developers now have an unprecedented degree of design flexibility with the internal contents. As a result, there are major benefits for user-friendliness, cost effectiveness, development lead time, and platform consistency.”

Eveleth says that Pharma SHR is suitable for unit-dose packages such as blister cards, as well as for ampoules, vials, syringes, and pouches.
