Sanner GmbH (Bensheim, Germany), a supplier of plastic packaging and components for the pharmaceutical and medical technology sectors, will introduce a new line of drop-in pillow pack desiccants at the forthcoming CPhI exhibition on the outskirts of Paris. The AdPack product offers customers a "cost-efficient solution that unites all the advantages of GMP-compliant production, professional risk management, and 100% traceability" said Sanner CEO Holger Frank in a news release.

The AdPack family of desiccants complies with all relevant European and FDA regulations for contact with food and drugs. The products are also listed in a Type III Drug Master File (DMF).

The pillow packs are available as single strips or on reel, and are made of a durable and tear-resistant Tyvek material. Highly permeable and ensuring long-term adsorption of moisture and odors, the desiccant remains intact at all times thanks to the use of flexible, non-dusting, lint-free Tyvek. The low-profile pillow packs take up little space within the packaging, and their distinct shape eliminates potential confusion with capsules or tablets.

AdPack is compatible with standard semi- and fully automated dispensing equipment and filling lines. A punch hole in the AdPack sealing seam ensures clean pack separation during the dispensing process.

The CPhI event for the pharmaceuticals industry will be held at the Parc des Expositions in Villepinte, France, near Paris, on October 7 to 9.
