			Peelable Pouches and Non-Peelable Pouches Pouches, primarily used for terminally sterilized medical devices, can be designed for all conventional sterilization methods. Available as peelable pouches or non-peelable pouches, with several types of opening features. Beacon's pouches employ clear or opaque medical grade packaging materials that include Dupont™ Tyvek®, aluminum foil, PET, nylon, paper, polyethylene films, and specialized barrier materials. Pouches are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes and can be custom printed with up to 4 colors, and fabricated up to 36 inches wide and 100 inches long. Pouches PDF

			Header Bags Header bags are commonly used for packaging and sterilizing bulky devices or as a second barrier layer for trays. Beacon header bags are custom made of a polymer film with the required degree of toughness, and a coated Dupont™ Tyvek® header strip for breathability. The films include coextrusions designed for strength and clarity, as well as cost-effective light gauge polyethylene for less demanding applications. Custom sizes from 2 to 99 inches wide, and in lengths from 3 to 34 inches are available. Header Bags PDF

			Lidding Materials Lidding materials, heat sealed to a thermoformed tray containing a sterilizable medical device, provides an aseptic opening feature while facilitating sterilization. Beacon lidding materials are sold in a variety of forms depending on the application: rollstock and lidstock in rectangular or custom die cut shapes. They can be manufactured from materials including coated Dupont™Tyvek® and foil laminations. Tray Lidding PDF

			Rollstock Rollstock, typically used on automatic pouch-making machines is available in Dupont™Tyvek®, paper, film, metalized film and foil combinations. Provided in master rolls, the rollstock can be coated, printed, perforated and or slit down to smaller rolls.

			Die Cut Insert Cards Custom die cut insert cards are a cost-effective alternative to ridged tray packaging. Formed from 100% recyclable virgin HDPE, custom die cut insert cards can hold one to many medical devices securely in place, helping to protect your sterile barrier system (SBS) from the devices within. Die cut cards can be embossed with identification of the material and its recyclability, eliminating the need for ink or a label. "The lack of adequate protection of the package from the device is the number one reason for SBS failures and the resultant loss of sterility.” AAMI Webinar: ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11607 New Global Standard for Sterile Medical Device Packaging, May 2007.

			Tie Wraps Tie wraps secure and organize medical devices in sterile barrier systems during product distribution and when presented into the sterile field. The wraps are designed to be hold coils of tubing or multiple pieces that need to be unitized and secured. They have a belt-like, easy-to-use closure mechanism that locks the wrap in place and secures itself without the use of adhesives.

			Flat/Square Bags Flat and square bags are primarily used for products that do not need to maintain sterility. These paper bags are autoclavable and environmentally friendly.

			Overwrap Bags for IV Solutions IV Overwrap bags can meet the protective requirements of specialized therapies that require unique packaging solutions. Whether it’s autoclavability, high moisture barrier, ultraviolet light protection, or all three, we understand the unique demands of drug delivery systems. IV Overwrap Bags PDF

			Bulk Bags for Pharmaceutical Materials Pharmaceutical bulk bags are commonly used to transport pharmaceutical materials through all the phases of the drug manufacturing process. The performance attributes can be matched to meet the requirements of your application, whether it is a breathable microbial barrier, extreme toughness, or barrier protection from moisture, oxygen, other gases, or ultraviolet light. Bags may be produced up to 36 inches wide and up to 100 inches long and can include a bottom gusset. Bulk Pharmaceutical Bags PDF
