May 30, 2019

However, when it comes to tablets, these are still traditionally handled in small containers such as drums, small kegs or boxes. In this article Shaun Baker, Pharmaceutical Sales Director for Matcon Limited, considers the benefits and challenges of handling tablets in larger volumes and using IBCs.
