With the successful commissioning of our new sheet cutter sfm has reached another milestone in packaging technologies for medical devices. The state-of-the-art system processes Tyvek® materials used for the packaging of our nextaro® products and combines multiple process steps within a single automated solution.

The system prints, inspects, and cuts Tyvek® sections to the required length with high precision. Its integrated quality inspection ensures consistently high print quality while further enhancing process reliability.

Greater Flexibility for Customized Packaging Solutions

With this new technology, sfm expands its capabilities in the development and manufacturing of high-quality medical device packaging solutions. The digital printing process provides significantly greater flexibility in package design and supports rapid adaptation to changing requirements.

Key benefits include:

• Customized packaging designs

• High-quality multi-color printing

• Fast implementation of design changes and product variations

• Elimination of complex pre-printing processes and reduced inventory requirements

• Improved print quality with lower scrap rates

• More efficient quality control processes and reduced workload for employees

Sustainability Throughout the Packaging Process

In addition to its technological advantages, the new system makes an important contribution to the sustainability of our manufacturing and packaging operations. Digital printing enables materials to be processed on demand, helping conserve resources and avoid unnecessary inventory.

This results in:

• Reduced material consumption

• Lower warehousing and transportation requirements

• Less waste resulting from product or design changes

• Improved environmental performance through reduced CO₂ emissions
