Blister packs, medicine bottle, vial, ampoule and eye-drop formats for pharmaceutical cartoning
Engineered in Ahmedabad, IndiaConfigured for domestic and export-market production

Application engineering overview

A cartoning system designed from the approved pack

A pharmaceutical cartoning machine must coordinate the product, leaflet and carton as one validated sequence. Stellan Tech Innovations develops horizontal and vertical cartoning systems for blister packs, strips, bottles, vials, ampoules, eye drops and other pharmaceutical formats, with the feeding and inspection scope selected after sample review.

The recommended cartoner depends on how the product can be presented reliably. Horizontal end-load cartoning is commonly selected for blisters, folded leaflets, tubes and stable container groups. A top-load or rotary vertical cartoner can be suitable for bottles, vials and irregular products that are easier to place through the open carton top.

Leaflet cartoning machine projects may include pre-folded leaflet feeding, online leaflet folding, presence verification, pharmacode or code inspection and rejection logic. Final performance is confirmed against the approved carton board, leaflet GSM, product orientation and required output.

Product formats

Applications considered during machine configuration

The feeding, change parts and carton-handling sequence are confirmed from actual samples, required output and the intended production process.

  • Blister and capsule blister packs
  • Tablet and capsule strip packs
  • Medicine bottles and vials
  • Glass ampoules and eye-drop bottles
  • Tubes, nasal sprays and dental cartridges
  • Pre-folded or online-folded leaflets

System architecture

Engineering decisions that shape reliable cartoning

Product-to-carton control

Sensors and interlocks coordinate product availability, carton pick-up, leaflet presence, insertion and controlled discharge.

Inspection-ready architecture

Coding, pharmacode, OCR/OCV, vision inspection and reject confirmation can be integrated according to the approved URS.

Line synchronization

The cartoner can interface with blister packing, filling, labelling, serialization and downstream case-packing equipment.

Before requesting a proposal

Information required for a meaningful machine selection

For domestic and export projects, confirm the installation location or country, electrical supply, safety standard, documentation scope and preferred commercial terms.

  • Product dimensions, orientation and incoming presentation
  • Carton size, board quality, closure style and leaflet specification
  • Required cartons per minute and upstream machine output
  • Inspection, coding, rejection and reconciliation requirements
  • Available floor space, operator access and changeover expectations
  • Market-specific electrical, safety and documentation requirements
