Overview

TopLine Packages: Engineered for those who demand more quality

At SCHOTT Pharma, we collaborate with global pharmaceutical leaders and emerging drug manufacturers. Through decades of trusted customer relationships and in-depth FMEA analysis, we’ve learned that standard specifications, such as those offered by our StandardLine and even our TopLine quality Core Vials, can fail to meet individual operational needs.

That’s where SCHOTT Pharma TopLine Packages come in. These are exclusively tailored solutions with tighter dimensional and cosmetic quality parameters, designed to align with our customers’ diverse requirements and therefore to solve their fill-and-finish challenges:

  • Efficiency Package: Customized vial upgrade targeting your efficiency goals
  • Inspectability Package: Customized vial upgrade targeting your inspection goals
  • Integrity Package: Customized vial upgrade targeting your integrity goals
Throughout the TopLine Packages process, our global team of specialists will be by your side, offering analytical testing and helping to enhance your filling line performance to add measurable value to your production.

      Efficiency Package

      Customized vial upgrade that targets your efficiency goals. The Efficiency Package helps to run high-speed filling lines with fewer interruptions and more confidence. Optimizing the vial bottom design through advanced production processes ensures greater container uniformity, which means less trembling, fewer line jams, and a lower risk of breakage.

      The result: Fewer stops, less cleaning, and more uptime. With the Efficiency Package, you can maintain peak performance on your lines and boost overall productivity.

      Inspectability Package

      Customized vial upgrade that targets your inspection goals. The Inspectability Package helps to reduce cosmetic-related rejections during final inspection. Applying tighter cosmetic specifications and enhanced inspection protocols minimizes visual imperfections, preventing vials from being mistaken for critical contamination.

      The result: Fewer false rejections, less blocked batches, and a smoother, more efficient production flow. With the Inspectability Package, you gain greater control over quality and output.

      Integrity Package

      Customized vial upgrade that targets your integrity goals. The Integrity Package helps to meet the highest standards in Container Closure Integrity (CCI). Through streamlined production and optimized CCI-related parameters, this package ensures uniform vial dimensions and strict cosmetic quality – key factors for reliable sealing and inspection.

      The result: By meeting all prerequisites for successful CCI, the Integrity Package helps to minimize the risk of final quality control failures, giving you greater confidence in your product’s safety and performance.
      SCHOTT Pharma TopLine Packages aren’t tied to a specific drug type. They help wherever process optimization or a ‘first-time-right’ approach is critical. Whether working with chemical drugs, generics, traditional vaccines, or veterinary products, TopLine Packages help streamline your fill-and-finish operations with precision and reliability, and can be freely combined in any configuration to suit your specific needs.

      For especially demanding or sensitive formulations, our EVERIC® portfolio offers an even higher level of performance, engineered to meet the toughest challenges in pharmaceutical packaging.
