Hapa launches two inkjet medical packaging printers

The Swiss company Hapa AG, which develops printers for packaging for the pharmaceutical industry, has announced two new inkjet devices.

This includes the MedJet 470, which is designed to integrate easily onto continuous or intermittent motion packaging machines. It’s a single colour piezo printer that uses solvent-free UV curing inks. It can print to a wide range of substrates, including aluminium foil, paper-backed foil, PVC, medical paper, and Tyvek. It’s mainly meant for producing blisters, deep-draw blisters, trays, and pouches for the medical packaging industry.

The second device is the BlisterJet CMYK, a piezo inkjet printers for printing text and graphics in four spot colours or CMYK process images. It prints UV ink in a single pass to aluminium foil, paper-backed foil, PVC, and Tyvek. It builds on the earlier two-colour BlisterJet. Both are designed to print onto blister and deep-draw blister products, especially for late-stage-customisation of pre-filled packs.

Hapa also develops low migration solvent-free UV inks designed to mitigate the risk of diffusion and set-off migration. These inks can be tailored for specific substrates and production processes.

You can license the articles from Printing and Manufacturing Journal to reproduce in other publications. I generally charge around £150 per article but I’m open to discussing this for each title, particularly for publishers that want to use multiple stories. I can provide high res versions of images for print publications.

I’m used to working with overseas publishers and am registered for VAT with the UK’s HMRC tax authority but obviously won’t charge VAT to companies outside the UK. You can find further details and a licensing form from this page, or just contact me directly here.
