running costs could be reduced.

businesses in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector,
by using strategic analysis and specialised consultancy
to improve the design and management of their Quality
Management Systems.

has since recruited two more people to help deliver strong
performance management systems in the healthcare
industry.

wanted to go back to the work I had always loved. Work
that involves training and inspiring professionals about
quality issues across the healthcare and pharmaceutical
sectors.”

OPM LAUNCHES ECO-FRIENDLY PACKING SOLUTION
Leeds-based Medilink Member, OPM
Labels and Packaging, have responded
to calls for more sustainable packaging
solutions with the innovative thicker
label closure (TLC), which reduces the
use of plastic and packaging weight. The
company with over 40 years’ experience
in the industry specialises in flexible
packaging and producing self-adhesive
labels.
OPM’s latest innovation aims to replace
rigid, weighty plastic moulded lids, while
lowering transportation costs, storage
space and C02 emissions throughout the
supply chain. This packaging solution
overcomes the drying-out problem wet
wipes face as it provides a hermetic seal
that retains moisture for the full life cycle
of the pack.
The use of re-sealable labels has increased
as consumers rely on the convenience
of portable, easy-to-open and easy-to-
close packaging. Used across Cosmetic,
Personal Care, Baby, and Health to
Household sectors, this re-sealable label
retains product freshness, moisture and
allows for endorsing a brand identity.
The TLC label enables clients to have more
design flexibility and creative control by
incorporating the full decorative print
while retaining all security features.
When printed both sides, the solution
allows space for the option of a secondary
advertising spot or to put additional
information in the form of logos or
recycling advice, which would be read by
the customer with every opening.
OPM offers single layer, double layer and
semi-rigid various adhesive combinations
to enable repeated opening and closing
of a product. Label dimensions, formats,
functionality and materials are easily
customised to suit individual customer’s
specifications.
