FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Parcel Health announces the first and only, automation-ready and paper-based, recyclable pill packaging, Tully Tube
Pittsburgh, Pa. – Parcel Health, the first and only manufacturer of paper-based medication packaging, has unveiled its latest innovation for packaging prescription drugs. Introducing Tully Tube, a better option than the standard pill bottle that’s automation-ready and fully recyclable. Research shows that only a very small percentage of plastic pill bottles are ever recycled. Tully Tube helps pharmacies reduce carbon emissions by 30%.
Parcel Health’s Tully Tube is:
100% Recyclable, 47% compostable
53% less plastic than traditional pill bottles
Humidity, water and child-resistant.
The base of Tully Tube is made from sustainably sourced and curbside-recyclable paper, while the neck and child-resistant cap is made from recycled plastic.
Tully Tube’s breakthrough design allows end-users to separate the cap from the paper tube using a proprietary joint-fitted release tab. Users can then discard the cap and joint with other plastic recyclables. The paper body can be either recycled or composted.
“We’re very excited to launch Tully Tube. This has been an innovation in the making for many months and it required precise engineering, sustainable material sourcing, and efficient product design. We’re very proud to bring this product to market at a competitive price,” said Mallory Barrett, co-founder and President of Parcel Health.
Tully Tube is compatible with pharmacy automation units and gives high-volume pharmacies a new option to integrate sustainable packaging into their workflow. Tully Tube is fully customizable for labels that pharmacies currently use.
Parcel Health created Tully Tube as a complement to its fully paper-based pill packaging, Phill Box. Like Phill Box, Tully Tube is fully customizable and printable to align with pharmacies’ unique brands.
