DNP to Exhibit for First Time at COMPAMED 2026, International Trade Fair for High-tech Components, Materials and Manufacturing Technologies

Tokyo, October 8, 2026, Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. (DNP) will exhibit for the first time at COMPAMED 2026, the International Trade Fair for High-tech Components, Materials and Manufacturing Technologies, to be held in Düsseldorf, Germany, from 16 to 19 November 2026. Together with MEDICA, one of the world's leading medical trade fairs, COMPAMED provides an international platform that connects companies across the medical technology industry.

DNP provides products and services to the medical device and pharmaceutical industries by leveraging its advanced manufacturing technologies and quality control capabilities. At the exhibition, DNP will showcase a variety of medical and pharmaceutical packaging solutions, such as sterilization pouches and mono-material packaging designed to support sortability and recyclability. Through these products, DNP contributes to maintaining the quality of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and related products.

At this exhibition, DNP will showcase the value of its products and services that leverage DNP's advanced manufacturing technologies and quality control systems in the European market, where environmental regulations and recycling requirements are more advanced. DNP will also introduce these solutions to multinational medical device manufacturers and converters, primarily in Europe and the United States.

By coating non-woven fabric with a heat-seal agent, DNP has developed specifications designed to improve ease of opening compared with uncoated products while maintaining breathability. In addition, leveraging DNP’s converting (material processing) technologies, the product lineup includes mono-material sterilization pouches that provide seal strength and easy-peel functionality equivalent to DNP’s conventional products.

The packaging material incorporates a moisture-absorbing agent into a polyolefin-based film to absorb moisture from both the package interior and the contents, thereby helping maintain an appropriate moisture level inside the package. For example, moisture-sensitive pharmaceuticals face the challenge of absorbing atmospheric moisture, which can lead to degradation and reduced efficacy. DNP’s Moisture-Absorbing Packaging helps reduce these issues while also enabling flexible package designs tailored to the contents.

The packaging is designed with a mono-material structure in accordance with the guidelines of the European Consortium, Circular Economy for Flexible Packaging (CEFLEX) *2.

The structure improves sortability and recyclability compared with conventional multi material- packaging. By leveraging its proprietary film-forming, vapor-deposition, and converting technologies, DNP has achieved the oxygen and water vapor barrier properties and filling performance required for packaging applications.

DNP has developed a PP top lidding film for PTP*4 that imparts barrier properties to PP, the same material used for the plastic bottom sheet, thereby serving as a replacement for the aluminum foil traditionally used in PTP format. Recycling PTP packaging previously required a step to separate the plastic sheet from the aluminum foil. Switching to this newly developed PP top lidding film, however, enables the use of mono-material packaging.
