Products intended for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors must have specific characteristics, especially in terms of reliability and safety of the material used.
It is essential, for example, that the raw material maintains its properties throughout the use of the product and therefore does not deteriorate. In other cases, they must be suitable for sterilization or prevent contact with UV rays.
Polyethylene and Polypropylene: the importance of certified raw materials
Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP) are materials that are extremely suitable for the medical sector.: the first (PE) is soft, elastic, transparent, waterproof, heat-resistant, easy to weld and 100% recyclable. Polypropylene (PP) has great transparency, is also waterproof, has a high breaking load, good thermal and abrasive resistance and is easy to weld. They are both the main materials used for packaging also of products intended for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors due to the quality of their characteristics.
Not only that: It is essential that the raw material used is certified. In fact, certifications guarantee that the manufacturing company respects the highest quality and safety standards throughout the production process, from the choice of raw materials to the final result. At Teamplast we systematically obtain and renew the most important certifications: ISO 9001:2015 which recognises the company's excellence in managing the quality of its processes and the UNI EN 15593:2008 which guarantees the suitability of the product for contact with food. All our products are supplied with documents and quality certificates that prove their safety.

Customized products designed for specific needs
Thanks to the features already listed, therefore, Polyethylene and Polypropylene are the safest and most reliable, especially for the containment of particularly delicate products such as those intended for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors.. Furthermore, modern technologies allow us to create refined products with precise characteristics., such as reinforced welds, micro-perforations, snap or adhesive flap closures, prints in up to 8 colours and much more, in order to meet (and sometimes exceed!) our customers' expectations.
Among our articles you can find for example:
- Low density PE bags for medical device packaging;
- Envelopes for photosensitive products;
- Hospital waste collection bags;
- Safety Shield Shirt, specifically designed and created for the Sant'Orsola Polyclinic in Bologna during the Covid-19 pandemic;
- Molded PP Coex (Coextruded Polypropylene) reels, normally used for the automatic or semi-automatic packaging of small parts such as test tubes, masks or cannulas.
And much more. For more information on our products visit the dedicated page.
Teamplast's attention to the customer
Our primary goal is to be able to create a project for the customer and consequently a product that is tailor-made and at the same time of high quality. The safety of the raw material used, the production choice and the durability of the product are among the main indicators of a qualified work, which we try to pursue every day. Over the years we have perfected both the knowledge of the raw materials and the technologies used, being able to respond to every request today.
Last but not least: we like to underline that we carefully respect all the safety and quality standards required by the relevant national and international laws. This translates into certified products manufactured according to the highest quality standards, especially for the medical, pharmaceutical and food sectors.
