The specially designed carton sidewalls have a high frame in to which two sections are removed to accommodate the suspended blister packed vials.

The booklet and labels are fed using Streamfeeder ST1250 friction feeders, which feed the products from a stack, automatically singulating them and feeding them in to the carton prior to it being closed.
