Hapa, a Coesia company and provider of pharmaceutical printing technologies, will present its blisterjet agile for Pharma and Healthcare at Pack Expo International 2024. This versatile and cost-efficient solution for late-stage customization of sealed blisters addresses the shift from large-volume production to high-mix, low-volume demands.
It enables high-speed production of blank blisters on the customer’s line, which can be printed on demand, reducing waste and ensuring rapid delivery. “Blisterjet agile represents a significant advancement in our portfolio, offering highest flexibility and efficiency to meet the dynamic needs of the pharmaceutical industry,” says Alexander Schmidt, General Manager at Hapa.
The solution integrates digital technologies such as OptiMate, Coesia’s award-winning HMI, and Vision Secure, an integrated product inspection system. Its high level of automation and Industry 4.0 compatibility future-proof operations and enhance productivity. The system supports CMYK and variable data printing at 600 dpi, suitable for various pre-sealed pharmaceutical blisters.
The digital printing solution to increasing blister line capacity addresses the growing complexity of pharmaceutical productions, where smaller batch sizes and a high number of SKUs are becoming the norm. Designed to help manufacturers navigate these challenges, it allows for easy artwork and format changes and the flexibility to print entire artwork directly onto the blister, supporting various formats and colors.
With improvements to both hardware and software, blisterjet agile is intuitive to operate and maintain, offering a user-friendly experience. Its Vision Secure inspection system ensures that each print is accurate, with errors detected early and faulty products ejected, increasing both product safety and patient safety. This adaptability allows customers to react swiftly to changing market needs, boosting flexibility in production.
