Need the best single-dose Macrogol packaging? “Go Universal”

23 January 2025

Macrogol, also known as PEG (polyethylene glycol), is a highly versatile pharmaceutical powder widely used in medical applications, such as the treatment of constipation and intestinal preparation for diagnostic tests. While its applications are extensive, packaging Macrogol powder presents significant challenges, particularly in single-dose stick-pack and sachet formats.

The packaging of Macrogol made easy with single-dose packaging technologies designed by Universal Pack, Science in Packaging. Universal Pack provides pharmaceutical companies with high-end dosing systems for non-free-flowing powders.

What are the key challenges in Macrogol packaging?

  1. Heat sensitivity
    Macrogol is a heat-sensitive powder, meaning its properties can degrade if exposed to high temperatures during the sealing process. For this reason, advanced low-temperature sealing systems are crucial to ensure the powder’s integrity while maintaining process efficiency.
  2. Non-uniform flow
    The non-free-flowing nature of Macrogol makes accurate dosing complex. Specially designed dosing systems must be used to ensure accurate dosing of the powder, reduce waste, and meet the quality standards required by the pharmaceutical industry.
  3. Dust control
    As a fine pharmaceutical powder, Macrogol can generate significant dust during the packaging process. Effective dust containment systems are essential to ensure a clean production environment, minimize contamination risks, and maintain safety standards.
