IWK Packaging Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of premium tube filling and cartoning equipment for the pharmaceutical, health & beauty sectors, has introduced to the North American market a machine that produces fully cardboard blisters – including both the base card and blister itself. The IWK CABLIblue 870 Blister System features an innovative “card-to-card” blister technology in which both the cardboard blister and its backing are not only securely sealed but comprise the same material. The result is a robust packaging solution that is 100% recyclable in paperboard streams – a premium selling point as companies continue to embrace sustainability.
The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most innovative and biggestselling sectors in the world. In 2024, the European pharmaceutical market generated sales of around 280 billion US dollars. In Germany alone, sales in the first quarter of 2025 totalled around 16.6 billion euros, making the country the largest pharmaceutical market in Europe and the fourth largest in the world. Alongside this, packaging technology is becoming more important: it is not only a means of safely storing and transporting medicines, but is also a key issue where sustainability is concerned.
