PoppyPac installs new aluminium tube filling line

Contract manufacturer Poppypac has installed a new aluminium tube filling line, offering a choice of printed or labelled tubes.

This is to help customers who want to launch multiple variants and minimise their stock holding of packaging at the same time.

The new Norden 402 hot air tube filler will boost production. By adding a metal folding beam the firm can now fill aluminium tubes as well as plastic and aluminium barrier laminate tubes.

The line can produce 40 filled tubes per minute in a range of sizes, and filling MOQs are 2,500 per type.

Additionally, Poppypac has recruited Vasilis Karamalakis as a senior laboratory technician in the technical department, who is a fully qualified safety assessor for the UK and EU and a member of the Society of Cosmetic Scientists in the UK.

Based in St Leonards on Sea on the South Coast of England, the family-run company has been established in the fields of vitamins and supplements, cosmetics and contract packing for over 10 years.
