Challenge

  • Development of an easy-to-use machine concept for a plastic-free packaging solution for interdental brushes

  • Development of a sustainable packaging solution with a very narrow packaging size (< 10mm including inlay)

  • The interdental brushes must not touch each other, nor may their filament touch the packaging

  • The packaging should have an opening mechanism and be resealable

Solution

  • Blister machine KBS-PL specially designed for the sustainable packaging solution cycleBox®

  • Packaging development within the framework of the Packaging Competence Center

  • Innovative product inlay for the fixation of interdental brushes and detailed testing for the formability of the cycleBox® with its low depth
