The classic Aspirin® gets a makeover

In order to extend production capacity for its Aspirin® Effect product, the installation of a highly efficient packaging system from Bosch Packaging Technology is scheduled for 2009. This system solution provided by Sigpack Systems in Beringen (Switzerland) and Bosch Packaging Technology in Waiblingen (Germany) will achieve output levels of 1000 Stick Packs and 100 cartons per minute.

New form and packaging style

Still a registered trademark in over 80 countries, Aspirin® has been around for over a century and is universally known in its tablet form. The introduction of Aspirin® Effect has seen the classic tablet become available in a granulated form that is taken without the need to dissolve in water and comes packaged in stick packs. The stick pack itself has an incision, which makes it easy and safe to tear open. To guarantee optimal access to the product, the longitudinal seam is positioned at the edge, which results in an enlarged opening cross-section. This ensures not just easy opening but also quick and safe emptying of the package. Aspirin® Effect is sold in award-winning folding cartons, used exclusively by Bayer and containing 10 or 20 stick packs.
