TECOBOX: HOW IT WORKS

TECOBOX enhances pharmaceutical packaging security with design that visibly indicate tampering, thereby ensuring product integrity and compliance with industry standards.

The TECOBOX seal is part of the box and needs to be ripped-off to open the box. That's irreversible and also evident.

Lean Tamper Evident solution
a value-creating and
cost efficient folding box

Up to 850 pieces/minute on standard lines

Maximizing OEE: reducing micro-stops, maintenance, defects and refilling

Simplifying Supply Chain Management: fewer packaging items, orders, movements and stock

Easily adaptable to existing packaging machines, making them more efficient. Contact your line supplier for the needed adjustments.

Eco-friendly Tamper Evident
the innovation for a sustainable future

Built-in paper seal

No plastic label required

No hot melt glue = No polymer added in your processes

Reduction of CO2 emissions: requiring no energy for labeling machines or glue melters, eliminating the need for transportation of adhesive materials, and resulting in higher productivity, which equals lower energy consumption per unit

Eco-friendly processes
Commitment to sustainability

Plant-Based Inks and Varnishes:

furthering our dedication to sustainability, IGB uses inks and varnishes that are plant-based and free from mineral oils. This choice underscores our pledge to use materials that are not only safe for the environment but also for our customers.

ISO 14001 - Environmental Management System:

our manufacturing operations are rigorously aligned with ISO 14001 standards. This commitment ensures we constantly monitor and enhance the environmental impact of our production processes.

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certification:

demonstrating our dedication to sustainability, we use cardboard that is FSC-certified, ensuring it is sourced from responsibly managed forests.

IGB's Eco-Friendly Milestone:

thanks to the photovoltaic investment powering tamper-evident production, IGB has achieved CO2 savings totaling over 320,000 kilograms this year, equivalent to planting more than 9,000 trees.

President Mario Barbuto, Italian Blind Association (UICI) shared his appreciation:
«.. to guarantee the independent verification of the integrity of the products is for us a milestone of civilization... Warm thanks to the creators of the system that marks a new, small step forward towards a goal of equal opportunities for all citizens.”

TECOBOX: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Image

Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life" is considered the foundation of evolutionary biology. Groups of organisms of the same species gradually evolve through a process of natural selection as environmental conditions change.

Similarly, over time, the functionalities of pharmaceutical packaging have evolved. They are no longer limited to the transport of the drug but have progressively extended to include information, identification, and safety.


In fact, in recent years, more attention has been given to tamper-evident systems. Initially, these packaging solutions were undifferentiated, ineffective, overly complex, and thus costly. The Tamper Evident Folding Box by IGB marks the origin of a new species. A favored box capable of providing maximum protection to patients' lives and of adapting to any industrial packaging line.

And now, the Struggle for Life, or the race towards a circular economy, has created a new selective context. Here is the first mutation of IGB's tamper-evident solution into the brand-new TECOBOX, which continues to be the FAVOURED TAMPER EVIDENT PACKAGING.
