Sustainable Packaging Part 2: Right-Size Packaging
Right-size packaging minimizes waste by tailoring each package to its contents, reducing costs, DIM weight charges, and environmental impact. Sustainability
The Single Vial Packer (SVP) by Tension is an all-in-one vial packaging solution designed to streamline pharmacy operations for mail-order, central fill, or specialty pharmacies. This mid-output system automates vial packaging, including bottles, reducing labor and expenses while ensuring accuracy with a three-step order verification process. The SVP prints and folds patient-specific paperwork, labels the shipping bag with patient or clinic information, and automatically dispenses bottles and paperwork into a sealed bag. Non-conforming bottles are diverted for inspection, ensuring accuracy and efficiency with every order. The SVP’s barcode scanning technology and automated packaging process optimize pharmacy workflows, making it a reliable solution for high-efficiency vial packaging.
Automatically labels shipping bags with patient or clinic information and necessary barcodes, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
Scans and matches patient-specific barcodes on the bottle, bag, and paperwork, rejecting any mismatched orders and diverting them for technician review.
