Chameleon™ for Tyvek®

Award: Gold Award—Expanding the Use of Flexible Packaging

Manufacturer: PAXXUS, Inc., paxxus.com

Description: Chameleon™ for Tyvek® allows the user to readily evaluate the quality of a seal when used with uncoated Tyvek®. Before opening, the seal shows as a darker color when viewed through the film side. Once the package has been peeled open, a vivid colored seal indicator presents on the Tyvek®, with a contrasting white seal indicator on the film. This easily allows users to identify any seal flaws, addressing the new EU Medical Device Regulations that the “integrity of the packaging is clearly evident to the final user,” while providing a consistent, smooth, fiber-free peel.
