  • Patent number: 9585811
    Abstract: The invention relates firstly to a method for producing a crimp cap for a container for receiving a pharmaceutical substance, in particular an ampoule, wherein the crimp cap has a metal foil layer, which is covered over at least on the outside with a layer of plastic forming a covering of the foil layer. In order to provide an advantageous method for producing a crimp cap from a metal foil layer with a layer of plastic forming a covering of the foil layer, while avoiding the risk of particle formation as much as possible, it is proposed that a material strip M having an already plastic-covered foil layer is formed into the crimp cap by punching out and deep drawing. The invention also relates to a crimp cap for a container for receiving a pharmaceutical substance, and also to a container with a pharmaceutical substance.

  • Publication number: 20150298414
    Abstract: A method produces a flanged cap and a flanged cap for a vessel accommodates a pharmaceutical substance, particularly a vial, wherein the flanged cap is formed from one material strip (M) having a film layer that has already been plastic-coated, wherein the material strip is thereafter stamped out and shaped via deep-drawing. A plastic component is affixed on the plastic coating of the flanged cap that forms a plastic layer. A flanged cap for a vessel for accommodating a pharmaceutical substance, particularly a vial, is formed from a metal film layer, wherein the film layer is likewise covered on the outside with a plastic layer that forms a coating on the film layer. A vessel contains a pharmaceutical substance.
