Keystone Folding Box Co., a manufacturer of paperboard packaging solutions, has collaborated with sensor and printed electronics provider Information Mediary Corporation to develop a "smart" blister package with many of the sustainability benefits of Ecoslide-RX. The new Ecoslide-RX with integrated Med-ic technology is senior friendly and child-resistant (F=1).
Ideal for clinical trials where dosing data should be precisely recorded, Ecoslide-RX with Med-ic incorporates an electronic module and printed sensor grid inside the package, both of which are invisible to the patient. The hidden technology records the time, date and location when a dose is removed from the blister package.
Upon completion of use the data can be retrieved from the pack wirelessly; the data can also be read remotely using a smart-phone enabled with near field communication technology.
Med-ic has won two HCPC Compliance Packaging Awards including one branded pharmaceutical.
Named for its designation as the most eco-friendly product of its kind on the market, Ecoslide-RX is a child-resistant (F=1), senior-friendly compliance package made from 100% recyclable material. Ecoslide-RX contains no plastic in its secondary packaging and, unlike other paperboard compliance packs, requires minimal film and foil while maintaining the highest-possible child-resistance rating.
Recently, Ecoslide-RX was adopted by Walmart as a compliance package for use in the retailer's popular $4 prescription drug program.
