Glass and polymer packaging

SCHOTT offers a broad range of syringes, cartridges, vials, ampoules made of glass and polymer to the pharmaceutical industry. We are committed to providing consistent high-quality products to our customers worldwide, from standard level up to tailor-made solutions for the highest requirements. For the specific needs of highly sensitive drugs (biotech), we offer special packaging solutions, such as coated packaging or innovative syringe systems.

Glass tubing and polymer expertise

As a pioneer and proven expert in glass technology and manufacturing, we guarantee the superior quality of SCHOTT glass tubing. SCHOTT Fiolax® glass tubes are made of highly resistant borosilicate Type I glass of the highest hydrolytic resistance.

Pharmaceutical containers made of advanced cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) of the highest purity are break resistant, lightweight and transparent with a glass-like appearance. SCHOTT has more than ten years of experience with COC for pharmaceutical applications - a very good alternative to glass.

Prefillable glass syringes

forma 3s® is a completely sterile syringe set, ready for the filling process. forma 3s syringes with staked needle, luer cone or luer lock are packed in nests for easy handling and filling.

forma 2s is designed for bulk production. These syringes are delivered in non-sterile form. The unassembled glass barrels with staked needle, luer cone or luer lock are packed in trays.

Prefillable polymer syringes

SCHOTT TopPac® are sterile prefillable syringes made of COC high-tech polymer. They are packed in nest form to enable easy handling and filling. SCHOTT TopPac syringes are available with integrated luer lock. They are supplied, according to customer requirements, as a complete set with rubber components.

Glass vials

SCHOTT offers a broad variety of glass vials with different neck finish designs, with or without blowback, to meet any need you may have. For special requirements, we also offer inside-coated vials such as SCHOTT Type I plus® for improved chemical stability and inertness, as well as SCHOTT TopLyo™ for optimum efficiency of the lyophilisation process.

Glass ampoules

Glass ampoules offer a great benefit: the medication is in contact with glass only and the packaging is 100% tamper proof. We supply a wide range of ampoules in different forms and break systems.

Glass cartridges

Glass cartridges are an ideal packaging solution for insulin and other drugs. They are used with pen or pump systems, auto-injectors and needle-free injectors. Highest precision and quality for all dimensional and functional aspects of the container are required to enable the functionality of these sophisticated drug delivery systems.
