OUR HEAT SENSITIVE SOLUTION FOR THE INDUSTRIAL GAS INDUSTRY

Viscose has been manufacturing tamper evident seals for over 125 years and are proud to work with many of the world’s leading gas companies.

We’re a trusted supplier to the gas industry and are listed in the Gasworld directory, proof that you can trust us to protect your sensitive gas cannister and equipment.

A key issue in the gas industry is monitoring full vs empty cannisters, they cannot be weighed to tell the difference, so a visual way of checking is needed. Without this, empty cannisters end up being transported through the system which is a costly process.

The problem is, traditional packaging solutions such as heat-shrink sleeves require heat application to seal the cannisters. This is often not ideal specifically because gas and other flammable liquids, components and chemicals are extremely heat sensitive and applying heat to seal them can be dangerous.

This is where we can help…

INTRODUCING OUR HEAT-FREE TAMPER EVIDENT SOLUTION; VISKRINGS.

Our Viskrings are hand applied and self-shrinking without the need for heat meaning you simply place them over your container / cannister, and they shrink naturally forming a tight seal.

They provide a quick and easy visual check to ensure only full cannisters are in rotation. Not only are they heat-free, but they are also biodegradable, home compostable and plastic-free. So, by using these tamper evident sleeves not only will you be using a safe product, you’ll also be protecting the planet.

So why not seal and protect your gas containers with Viskrings today?

Our Heat Sensitive Solution for the Pharmaceutical industry

Viscose has been manufacturing tamper evident solutions to major industries including the pharmaceutical industry for over 125 years.

We are proud to work with NHS & private trusts, hospitals, clinical testing facilities and globally recognised pharmaceutical brands. Our ‘Sterile Until Open’ printed sleeves are a favourite in the pharmaceutical world, namely with our NHS customers.

Tamper evidence is globally recognised by healthcare providers and specialists as a cost-effective solution to protect containers like vials, petri dishes and sample bottles from contamination ensuring the integrity of their contents.

Traditional solutions such as heat-shrink sleeves or bands require heat to shrink the bands onto the container – but what if you have heat sensitive contents? Or need a solution that can be hand applied on the go without any machinery?

This is where we can help- introducing our heat-free tamper evident solution; Viskrings.

Our Viskrings are hand applied and self-shrinking forming a tight seal over your container protecting against contamination. They are perfect for the pharmaceutical industry, namely because live specimens, cultures and bacteria are heat sensitive and applying heat to seal them may affect their integrity.

Not only are they heat-free, they’re also biodegradable, home compostable, and plastic-free. So, by using these tamper evident sleeves not only will you be protecting your product you’ll also be protecting the planet.

Our Solutions For The Beauty & Cosmetic Sectors:

Packaging for beauty and cosmetic products is essential in preventing breakages, counterfeiting and tampering which can be extremely costly for brands.

Products are accessible online now more than ever and ensuring customers have a positive brand experience is critical.

Cosmetic products shipped in bulk, either to a department store or as an e-commerce order to a consumer, must arrive in perfect condition. Fragile products, such as glass bottles, will need protective packaging such as a full body sleeve to avoid breakages whereas make up items such as eyeliners and foundation require shrink sleeves to ensure the lids are not removed from the containers.

We understand the strict regulation of these products as well as their associated packaging – our factory is ISO accredited and always audit ready for customers to visit.

Standing out from the crowd with eye-catching or easily recognised decorative packaging is a must and we can help with decorative sleeve options that reflect your brand or plain sleeves that let your primary packaging shine through.

We work with everyone from contract packers to luxury producers providing tamper evident packaging for products such as eyeliners and foundations to moisturisers, body scrubs and everything in between.

Natural beauty and cosmetics products are also becoming more and more popular, we offer tamper shrink sleeves with plastic free or eco-friendly options to ensure your packaging reflects your product and your brand.
