More layers are better than one

MONODOSE Thanks to their original R&D work Lameplast Group has created the monodose multi-layer plastic laminate. Available in six versions with different "effects" like the tactile and visual ones liked by the marketers.

Lameplast Group is a pioneer in the field of monodose containers, and this is proven, among other things, by the propositive verve of its team of researchers. This time they focused on materials and, after years of work, have managed to best exploit the different types of plastics (PE and PP in particular) enabling their association with other polymers. With important effects: the multilayer opens new, interesting opportunities for the presentation and protection of products in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and medical device sectors.

Unlike conventional single-layer strips, multi-layer packs have an outer layer - and an intermediate one if necessary - in addition to the inner layer in contact with the product. Each layer can be chosen based on specific marketing requirements, for example to increase barrier properties, to improve monodose compressibility or simply to play with the colors without interfering with the contents.

Currently available in 1 ml and 3 ml non-reclosable strips of 5 single-dose, the new Lameplast containers are suitable for containing any type of product, liquids, creams or gels. The shape of the monodose and the thickness of the layers can be further customised. Production is carried out in a class 100,000 (particles/ft³) at rest - 3,520,000 (particles/m³) in operational clean room, ISO 8 (in accordance with UNI-EN-ISO 14644-1). Rigorous checks are conducted throughout the process to ensure the customary level of quality multiplied over three layers.

Six alternatives with a sure impact. The Lameplast multilayer monodose line comprises six different models with evocative names.
Glass: highly transparent to enhance the contents.
Glam: customisable with standard or fashion colours (colour applied to outer layer only to prevent contact with the product).
Soft touch: ultra-soft and pleasing to touch, easily compressed for total emptying of contents.
Steam-proof: made from materials resistant to autoclave sterilisation (121°C for 20 minutes), without compromising the compressibility of the single-dose.
Total-block: designed for products requiring a high level of protection. Excellent barrier against water vapour and gasses: a valid alternative to aluminium pouches.
Eco: strips with reduced environmental impact designed for natural or organic products. Made with an outer layer of recycled plastic and an inner layer of top quality virgin PE in contact with the product; matt colour on outer layer for attractive aesthetic effect.
