SAN RAFAEL, Calif., April 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PAC Machinery, a leader in the heat sealing and flexible packaging industry, announced today that it has partnered with Domino Printing Sciences, PLC to develop printing capabilities that deliver consistent, quality serialized codes on medical device packaging that will meet strict Food and Drug Administration standards for Unique Device Identification.
A pioneer in the packaging industry, PAC Machinery was one of the first companies in the world to provide machinery that could do validated packaging for the medical device industry. Validation ensures that all aspects of the sealing process that influence package integrity must be monitored, measured, and controlled. “Our focus has always been to provide innovative solutions that are tailored to the user’s unique needs," said PAC Machinery Chief Operating Officer Mark Goldman.
“We performed extensive testing, and found that Domino printers had the capability to deliver the results we required for printing directly on DuPontTM Tyvek®,” Goldman added. By integrating the Domino V320i high-speed thermal transfer overprinter on PAC Machinery’s Clamco Rollbag Magnum HS Med medical pouch sealer bagger, medical device manufacturers can now print on the Tyvek® side of poly/Tyvek® rollstock material, eliminating the time required to apply an additional label on the clear side of the film. Tyvek® is a durable spunbonded olefin material that is composed of embedded fibers. This material can be an especially challenging surface on which to print. A common choice for medical device packaging, Tyvek® provides tear resistance, durability, breathability and a superior microbial barrier for packaging which helps ensure devices remain sterile.
The Rollbag Magnum HS Med configured with the Domino’s V320i printer, is a repeatable, dependable solution that will now set the standard for meeting governmental requirements for UDI.
