Packaging technologies designed for medical and pharmaceutical applications
Medical devices and pharmaceutical products require secure, traceable, and contamination-controlled packaging systems that comply with strict regulatory and hygiene standards. MULTIVAC will present its Health Packaging solutions at interpack 2026 (7–13 May) in Düsseldorf, Germany, Hall 16, Stand A38, demonstrating integrated packaging technologies designed to improve reliability, process transparency, and regulatory compliance in healthcare manufacturing.
Presented under the theme “Protecting what protects health,” the exhibition highlights automated packaging lines for medical devices and pharmaceutical products, along with palletising automation modules intended to support end-to-end production workflows.
Thermoforming line packages medical devices in recyclable materials
Among the systems demonstrated at the exhibition is the R 245 thermoforming packaging machine, configured with an integrated Bell-Mark direct web printer and two visual inspection systems. The system is designed for packaging medical products such as heart catheters in recyclable flexible film packs that comply with the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
The packaging line integrates two inspection technologies to support product traceability and packaging integrity:
- Print inspection system, verifying the accuracy of printed information such as identification and regulatory markings
- Seal seam inspection, ensuring the integrity of package seals for sterile or sensitive medical products
The individual packages are printed with UDI-compliant markings, supporting regulatory requirements for medical device identification and traceability.
The machine is designed according to MULTIVAC Clean Design principles, which aim to simplify maintenance and reduce contamination risks. Features include transparent safety guards and side cladding for visual monitoring, enclosed cable routing, and structural designs that minimize hidden cavities or hard-to-clean areas.

Digitally controlled sealing improves pharmaceutical packaging reliability
MULTIVAC is also presenting an interactive pharma packaging line that demonstrates solutions for securely packaging sensitive pharmaceutical products. The system highlights the company’s pixelSEAL contour sealing technology, which enables precise digital control of sealing parameters during thermoforming packaging processes.
The sealing system distributes heat across individually controlled sealing pixels, allowing temperature regulation with a tolerance of approximately ±1°C. This level of control supports consistent sealing performance across complex packaging materials while maintaining uniform temperature distribution.
Such precision is particularly important for pharmaceutical packaging, where consistent seal integrity is required to protect sensitive products and maintain regulatory compliance.

Automation module supports end-of-line palletising
In addition to packaging systems, MULTIVAC will showcase the H 300 Cobot handling module, designed for automated palletising and other standardized end-of-line tasks.
The collaborative robot module can be integrated into existing production lines and provides an entry-level automation solution for manufacturers seeking to automate palletising operations without extensive modifications to current equipment. The system is designed to maintain operational safety while improving handling efficiency in packaging workflows.
Packaging solutions tailored to regulatory requirements
MULTIVAC’s Health Packaging offering focuses on developing packaging systems tailored to the specific requirements of medical device manufacturers and pharmaceutical producers, including regulatory compliance, product protection, and sustainable packaging materials.
The systems presented at interpack 2026 (7–13 May) in Düsseldorf, Germany, Hall 16, Stand A38 demonstrate how integrated packaging lines can combine inspection technologies, precise sealing control, and automation modules to support secure and traceable packaging for healthcare products.
