Stora Enso, a global paper, packaging and forest products company, has signed a licence agreement with Enestia Belgium for the contract packaging of pharmaceutical products in Pharma DDS cartons.

Enestia is a subsidiary of Irish firm United Drug, as is Sharp Corporation in the US, which also has a Pharma DDS licence agreement with Stora Enso.

In addition Stora Enso has accredited printers to produce the printed and converted blanks of the Pharma DDS carton.

"Our partnership with the two United Drug subsidiaries will significantly broaden the availability of Pharma DDS contract packaging services, now covering the European and North American markets," said Stora Enso's Ismo Saarinen.

Pharma DDS is suitable for both prescription drugs and over-the-counter products, and it meets US and European child-resistance demands.

Ludwig Bastiaansen of Enestia said: "As we have broad experience of various packaging concepts, we see the Pharma DDS carton as an extension of our capabilities and offerings using slightly modified existing equipment."

The Pharma DDS carton includes features that support patient compliance with their drug prescriptions. The carton is convenient and discreet to use and has reached the highest F=1 child-resistance testing result. It has a unique locking mechanism and can be produced in a variety of sizes and versions, which makes it suitable for a wide range of unit dose packaging.
