Koerber Provides Sanofi Pasteur's Syringe Carton To Meet Drug Manufacturer's Needs

Flu vaccines are a high-volume commodity where factors such as price, availability, and time-to-market are crucial for success. The entire flu season production occurs within a 3-4 month window, with operations running continuously around the clock. Additionally, vaccines require a cold chain for shipping and storage, necessitating cold storage in facilities both at the production site and throughout the distribution channel, including refrigerated trucks for transport. Pharmacies and clinics must also maintain the proper temperature of vaccines in refrigerators.

Moreover, the flu vaccine industry is shifting from using multi-dose vials, typically containing 10 doses, to pre-filled single-dose syringes to avoid the need for preservatives. This transition significantly increases the number of syringes that must be packaged within the same production timeframe, highlighting the critical importance of machine output and efficiency. Discover the advantages of an optimal packaging design and the resulting benefits of its implementation to the overall process.
