Labelling & cartoning for plastic ampoules

Plastic ampoules are normally marketed in multiple formats, arranged vertically or horizontally into cartons. This kind of package is applied both for sale to end users and to healthcare facilities.

Considering this type of configuration, plastic ampoules require large, sturdy cartons.

Prior to the cartoning process, data such as expiry date, product composition, brand, lot number, may be applied directly on the product, via printing and labelling.
