Autobag gives medical packaging a good prognosis

Automated Packaging Systems has introduced the Autobag HD-E bagger and medical paper - sterilisable packaging solutions set to boost the productivity of specialised medical packaging operations.

The Autobag HD-E bagger will deliver Autobag reliability and efficiency in a bagger capable of handling, opening and sealing bags manufactured from specialist sterilisable films and papers.

With the new Autobag HD-E bagger comes a range of bags manufactured by Automated Packaging Systems in the UK that incorporate sterilisable papers and films.

The launch of Automated Packaging Systems' bagging system for sterile applications coincides with the unveiling of the Packmedical online resource centre - one of five one-stop information points for businesses looking to Automated Packaging Systems to improve the productivity of specialised packaging operations.

Packmedical, in common with Packhardware, Packfood, Packmailorder and Packmilitary, brings together new technologies, materials, expert guidance, features and information on bagging systems that meet the specific needs of specialist business.

Mike Healey, from Automated Packaging Systems, said: 'Packmedical will act as a knowledge-house, a central resource for packaging consultants, production engineers and business managers turning to Automated Packaging Systems for medical packaging solutions.

'Packmedical will deliver easy access to the information, materials and technology they need to increase efficiency and cut the cost of packaging medical components and supplies.

'Packaging product for medical applications presents some unique challenges and there is no simple "one size fits all" solution.

'The specific nature of medical products and their applications demand varying degrees of protection during distribution and storage, with some requiring sterile conditions to be maintained throughout and others undergoing in-pack sterilisation in a variety of processes.
