Interphex Presents a Wide Array of Packaging Innovations

From a packaging perspective, the
themes of the 2001 Interphex show
held in March in Philadelphia were
easier operation, quicker changeover,
and product security. Nearly all categories
of equipment, containers, and materials
were well represented among the
approximately 900 exhibitors spread across
240,000 ft2 of floor space.

Bags used for the delivery of parenteral nutrition,

touches the inside product-contact surface,
which then is protected throughout
packaging, distribution, and use on the
form–fill–seal equipment (M312 film, Cryovac
