Faller Packaging: Sustainable moulded fibre trays at CPhI in Frankfurt

Faller Packaging proves that a fibre-based alternative can combine sustainability and functionality in pharmaceutical packaging. The new, moulded fibre tray can be seen for the first time at CPhI 2025 in Frankfurt, booth 8.0M34.

An alternative to plastic and aluminium: Faller Packaging offers sustainable, moulded fibre trays in cooperation with Harvest Packaging. They’re made of a lightweight, strong and recyclable fibre. The advantage? Existing plastic trays can be replaced with an almost identical, sustainable alternative – and the use of monomaterials also further improves sortability in the recycling process. The focus here is on a high level of material efficiency with simultaneous product protection. For applications with sensitive active ingredients or electronic components, Faller Packaging offers structured inserts and combined solutions. The trays will be showcased at the companies’ CPhI booth in Frankfurt (October 28-30).

Tailor-made and pre-packaged

Other focal points are customised special designs and the PrePackaging Service. Standard folding cartons are often insufficient, especially for injection systems such as auto-injectors, pens and complex kits with vials and accessories. To master these challenges, Faller Packaging develops individual solutions that meet user-specific requirements and can be smoothly integrated into existing processes. Here the packaging specialist relies on holistic engineering. Comprehensive know-how flows into every project, from the initial concept to series production.

Faller Packaging’s PrePackaging Service creates pre-assembled packaging solutions that are precisely tailored to the respective product – including industry-specific materials and shapes. The specialist company supports customers from phase 3 of clinical trials onwards, supplying them with ready-to-use packaging for vials, syringes and devices. Small quantities that are initially produced can subsequently be automatically transferred to large-scale production without the need for any additional conversions. This makes market entry faster and more secure.

Superb adhesive labels and package leaflets

Faller Packaging also collaborates closely with its customers who require self-adhesive labels and package leaflets, resulting in individual solutions such as booklet labels, patient-specific information and tamper-evident labels in accordance with EN 16679:2014. Sustainability plays a central role here: material and backing use is reduced, designs are made recyclable from the outset and fibre-based alternatives are used. When it comes to package leaflets, Faller Packaging uses modern digital printing technology that makes small batches economical, shortens lead times and speeds up market entry.
