About Unit Dose Semi-Solid Drug Delivery
Primarily composed of liquid states, semi-solid drugs have many options when it comes to their unit dose packaging. We’re experienced in developing products for two-step regimens (Snap™ Dual), multi-dose regimens (Snap™ Array), touch-free dispensing (Snapplicator™) , and formulations that require precise amounts to be applied on the skin (Snap™ and Snapplicator™).
Our patent-protected Snapplicator™ performs as an applicator surface for spreading lotions and creams. Because it allows for touch-free dispensing and application, it is ideal for dispensing Rx or OTC active ingredients that you may not want to get on your hands or fingers.
With Snap™ Dual Chamber, clients can package multiple formulations in a single unit that is separated by a hard seal. This enables the contents to only come in contact during unit dose dispensing.
Regardless of a project’s complexity, you can rely on Tapemark for a turnkey solution for your semi-solid drug delivery product.
