In an era where sustainability and performance are top priorities in pharmaceutical packaging, Parcel Health’s Parcel Coat™ technology is making waves by transforming paper into a powerful, eco-conscious alternative to plastic and aluminum. Built on a unique paper layering system with a proprietary food-safe coating, Parcel Coat enables paper to stand up to the rigorous demands of modern pharmacy logistics without compromising on sustainability or function.
Parcel Coat is the force behind Tully Tubes, a paper-based solution tailored for temperature-sensitive medications that don’t require full cold chain logistics. This innovation provides insulation during critical transitions like shelf time or transport delays where plastic was once the default. But unlike plastic, which is only 9% recycled and increasingly under environmental scrutiny, Parcel Coat paper is compostable, recyclable (at over 90%), and made from renewable sources.
While aluminum remains a recyclable option, it’s energy-intensive to produce and lacks the same cost and environmental advantages. Parcel Coat addresses both durability and carbon impact, offering a monomaterial solution that integrates seamlessly into existing paper recycling streams no sorting complexity, no greenwashing.
Beyond durability and thermal protection, Parcel Coat sets a new benchmark in circular design. It reduces lifecycle emissions by cutting energy demand and using fewer materials, answering the call for greener pharmaceutical supply chains.
Bottom line: Parcel Health’s Parcel Coat is more than just a coating it's a catalyst for change, proving that paper isn’t just back; it’s better.
