With reference to the more complex requirements and the technological contents of biomedical products, Plax can produce the primary and secondary packaging containers needed for medical pharmaceutical articles, such as containers for vials, dispensers, applicators, circuit organizers, biomechanical and biocompatible products, products for surgery, vascular prostheses, implantable pulse generators , blisters and trays for surgical kits, for prosthetics in orthopaedics and dentistry and more.

The vacuum plastic thermoforming technique is applied especially when:

• There are specific small-sized elements;
• Packaging is required for objects that are difficult to handle;
• Several preparation steps are involved.

In these cases, Plax purposely produces vacuum thermoformed packaging . The products can be stored without compromising their functionality up until the moment they are used.

Plax manages the production, using plastic thermoforming, of multifunctional containers that can be used in environments   such as hospitals, e.g. trays for holding instruments or samples, protective containers for filtering and storage systems.

Technical notes

These products are made using materials with high levels of transparency and purity, so that they are totally non-toxic: they can undergo further sterilization after packaging.

These articles are produced entirely within our ISO 8 certified (class 100,000) clean rooms .

Plax Group produces trays for safe transport for the protection of objects of sizes from 5 mm up to over 500 mm, designed to optimize space and to facilitate all transport operations.

Plax also produces trays for internal handling that can be moved with automatic robotized lines and can be placed on standard plastic containers, transport units, pallets, baskets etc.

Each tray is designed for its depalletization and relative centering auto-fill, by means of a handling system along automatic lines.

These containers can be of varying thickness depending on the objects they have to hold: very thin for single-use trays that will be used in a single transport cycle, or greater thicknesses that allow re-use for multiple cycles.

Plax produces all types of clamshell packages with single or multiple openings, with transparent or coloured materials that can be customized with writing and images, labels or information cards and with possible openings for product testing.

These thermoformed articles can be made with slots for hanging in points of sale; or they can be made with support feet to be placed on flat surfaces.

In addition to clamshell packages, we also make blister packs together with the cardboard insert and the transparent thermoformed shell for anti-shoplifting packages.

The thermoformed shell can be sealed with a cardboard insert or even with plastic sheets welded at high frequency, guaranteeing the airtight packaging of the product .
