Desiccant capsules


Desiccants in capsules are used in the packaging of optical, electronic and medical devices. They are also enclosed with pharmaceutical preparations to protect their humidity-sensitive ingredients. Multilingual warnings on the carton panel or on the plastic housing can either be directly printed or attached in the form of adhesive printed labels.

  • Capsule bodies made of transparent or coloured plastic, sealed on top with a carton panel that is permeable to water vapour.
