Tear tape for tester

10 September 2005


Axis-Shield's Afinion analyser system – which offers laboratory-quality results within minutes from a finger-prick blood sample in single-use cartridges individually flow-wrapped in printed aluminium foil – needed a safe opening mechanism to allow physicians ease of access to the cartridge.

Vaktape, Payne's tear tape solution for hermetically-sealed packs, provided the solution. It is applied to the packaging film during the wrapping process, ensuring a low-cost, in-line application that maintains pack integrity.

Axis-Shield is using 3mm red Vaktape, supplied on 10km reels for reduced downtime caused by changeovers. The company has invested in a packaging line already equipped with a Vaktape applicator, capable of wrapping up to 25 packs/min.
