Induction Cap Sealing in the
Pharmaceutical & Healthcare Industry

UK & European regulations, including the Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) and Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), state that prescription medications and certain over-the-counter drugs must tamper-resistant packaging.

One of the easiest and most cost-efficient ways to achieve tamper evidence is through an induction seal.

Certain types of foil seals cannot be removed without leaving evidence on the lip of the container – this alerts the consumer that someone has tampered with the product.

Induction heat sealing is also being used to tackle the growing issue of counterfeit medicines; it is estimated that around 1 million people die every year from ingesting fake drugs. Using technology such as induction sealing can prevent counterfeiters from imitating your product and damaging your brand’s reputation.

A further benefit of induction cap sealing is protecting medicines and health supplements from moisture and germs – therefore extending the shelf life.
