Auto-Print for Oral Solid Medications

This machine packages and barcodes tablets or capsules at a speed of up to 60 packages per minute. Using MPI-certified packaging materials designed specifically for MPI’s Auto-Print^TM, the multi-layered composition of these consumable materials combined with a built-in low sealing temperature process assures that all medication will be adequately protected from external environmental effects such as light or moisture. This machine provides a clear, legible print of all medication information, including a scannable barcode.

The materials and manufacturing processes are FDA-registered, food grade, and meet USP Class A and B standards for medication packaging. As per U.S. Pharmacopeia guidelines, a one-year beyond-use date (BUD) or the product’s remaining expiration date, whichever is shorter, can be applied.

• Packaging bulk medication into unit dose is more cost-effective than buying pre-packaged products from the manufacturer.
• High-speed operation (60 packages per minute) eliminates the need for manual packaging and sorting.
• Frees up pharmacy staff to focus on other tasks.
• Accurate inventory control and maintenance of stock levels via Pak-EDGE^® software.
