Client Success with Desiccant Plastics

September 30, 2025

This Month: Diagnostic Test Kits

September has been busy for us. This month I’ve been working with a client whose aim was to develop a diagnostic kit that allows for at-home testing of infectious diseases.

One of the issues that the client wanted to solve was: ‘How to integrate a source of desiccant onto a form-fill-and-seal packaging line; where the desiccant ends-up fixed in-place within the foil pouch?’ This requirement arose because the client did not want a standard desiccant sachet, which would be free to move around inside the pack and possibly damage their diagnostic device.

We proposed our SUPERDRYPAK™ Desiccant Plastic which was tailored to a suitable thickness and surface area, to protect the product for the duration of its desired shelf-life. This task was made quicker and easier because we were able to model the size of desiccant plastic required, using our unique SUPERDRYSIM™ Software.

We then produced this film in the form of “desiccant plastic labels” which were backed with a self-adhesive layer, and supported on a web of polyester, wound onto a roll. This format allowed the desiccants to be indexed and placed onto the packaging foil, at high speed and with a high degree of accuracy. The compatibility issues of this project were eased by the fact that we’d already been supplying this customer with B-SURE Foil for a number of years. This led to a ‘single supplier solution’ for the client, and far fewer headaches as a result !

At the end of this project, the client was able to produce an elegant package that solved the integration of a flat and fixed desiccant, which was both lightweight and low-profile.

Those seeking more information should note this plastic can incorporate up to 60% desiccant content; which will then slowly and continuously absorb moisture within the pack, promoting product stability and accuracy of your test kit results !

I purchased Barrier Foil Bags from Ricardo at Baltimore Innovations and highly recommend the products and service that was provided. Samples were provided promptly, and Ricardo sourced both off the shelf and customized barrier foil bags that suited my needs. I also purchased a bag sealer and all of the products are of the highest quality. Baltimore Innovations are a reliable business partner a great source for products. I look forward to working with them in the future.
