The Plastic Systems Division: Plastic Packaging

For non-liquid delivery forms such as tablets and powder, Gerresheimer offers a wide portfolio of high-quality, user-friendly products which are complemented by a multifaceted range of alternatives in terms of specific closures, tamper-evident closures and other design options.

For liquid applications in the field of pharma and healthcare Gerresheimer has a host of container types made of PET, PE and PP in its range. Numerous system accessories allow individual tailoring to the customer’s needs.

Gerresheimer also produces special plastic-based vials for eye drops and nasal sprays. These user-friendly containers which can be complemented by different drop, spray or pump system components facilitate precise drug dosage and application.

These pharmaceutical primary packaging vials are made from COP plastic and PA (polyamide). COP stands for Cyclic Olefin Polymer, a glass-clear, break-resistant and biocompatible plastic type which is particularly suitable for long-term storage of sensitive parenteral medicines. Due to their triple-layer structure (COP/PA/COP) these Gerresheimer vials have barrier properties which are unique for plastic.

As a global company Gerresheimer services the international cosmetic industry in all market segments across the entire field of beauty and care of the hair and skin. The high-quality plastic product spectrum offers unique diversity even in the standard range and will be developed and refined for individual products. A large standard catalogue shows more than 200 models.
