MEDICALPackaging Solutions

Specialists in Medical

The medical sector requires fully guaranteed solutions in order to offer the maximum protection for products destined to care and preserve the health of people.

ULMA offers solutions that meet the strictest standards required by the medical sector, using plastic materials, medical paper, Tyvek, aluminized film, etc., in its packages.

Sterilised packages The resulting packages are suitable for sterilisation processes, and they maintain these conditions until opened.- Heat treatments using steam.- Use of gases (for example, ethylene oxide). The package is

gas permeable through the pores on the lidding material (thermoformed) or a band that is partially located on the packaging (flow pack).

- Radioactive treatment.

Easy-open packages

We offer different easy-open systems so that the package may be opened easily and quickly: flaps, zig-zag, etc.

Packaging adjustment

The machines have systems that may be adjusted so that the critical processes and parameters of the packaging are completely certified and homologated.

Assistance with the ISO 11607 standard

ULMA offers assistance in the ISO 11607 validation process, collaborating in the completion and documentation of the factory acceptance tests at ULMA (FAT), the installation qualification (IQ), the operational qualification (OQ) and the performance qualification (PQ).

Global offering

Unlike other suppliers, ULMA is able to offer a wide array of solutions for the medical sector, without limited itself to a single packaging technology. Complete solutions that cover everything from product handling to its boxing and final palletising, including packaging, and with the possibility of choosing between four different packaging systems: Flexible Thermoforming, Rigid Thermoforming, Flow Pack (HFFS) and Shrink Wrapping.

Medical

Thermoforming (flexible)Protection and airtightness

Packaging solutions on automatic horizontal packaging thermoforming machines.In flexible thermoforming, the product is placed in cavities created in the actual machine from a roll of flexible film. Afterwards, the packages are hermetically sealed using a plastic or paper film that also functions as lidding.

Flexible and economical easy-open packages that protect, offering a greater tactile feel over

the product.

Automated assembly line production of double packages for creating an antimicrobial barrier and a sterile barrier.

Optimised consumption of Tyvek, reducing its use through a patented mixed lidding system.

Rigid packages for increased mechanical protection and the ability to customise the shape of the package.

Possibility of blister packages for retail sale.

High mechanical protection and airtightness

Packaging solutions on automatic horizontal packaging thermoforming machines.In rigid thermoforming, the product is placed in cavities or blisters created in the actual machine from a roll of rigid film. Afterwards, the packages are hermetically sealed using film, medical paper or Tyvek that also functions as lidding.

Thermoforming (rigid)

Hygienic multipack and individual packaging

Packages suitable for sterilisation processes (ETO)

Protection and airtightness in an economical package

The Flow Pack packaging systems offer very flexible packaging solutions and a high level of production. They are characterised by wrapping the product, forming a bag around it using a sheet of plastic film, which may be applied to individual as well as grouped products.

Flow Pack (HFFS)

Sleeve wrapping of groups and shrink wrapped packages that improve product presentation

Packaging solutions in automatic and manual machines that operate using shrink wrap films, obtaining packages with or without a complete seal from two film rolls.
