BIB-BOB® 

Decouple your primary and secondary packaging processes—enabling late-stage customization and boosting your efficiency—by using our mobile modular solution for Körber blister machines. 

Bib-bob late stage customization solution

Maximize efficiency with late-stage customization 

Increase efficiency by up to 25 percent, reduce downtime by up to 90 percent, and minimize disruption caused by frequent country batch changes—with BIB-BOB®, designed exclusively for Körber BE-series blister machines. 

Benefits

Seamless line integration

BIB-BOB® is compatible with Körber BE-series blister machines, enabling seamless integration for stable, high-speed production.  

Small batch flexibility 

Whether you are launching a personalized therapy or a global blockbuster, our small-batch solutions deliver the precise, country-specific packaging you need to get to market faster. 

Improved sustainability 

Reduce energy consumption and storage footprint by using generic materials, lowering the SKU count and eliminating outdated pre-printed stock.  

Cross-site logistics  

Ship blister magazines to other plants for secondary packaging, optimizing production capacity across multiple global sites.  

Efficient validation 

Integrated vision systems for product identification and print verification ensure validated processes without requiring revalidation per batch.  

Higher OEE through decoupled manufacturing 

Buffering blisters in bulk magazines allows your blister line to keep running while market-specific packaging steps happen later. 

Faster time-to-market 

Start neutral blister runs without waiting for pre-printed materials, and achieve 4 to 6 weeks shorter time-to-market for new launches. 

In numbers

Higher OEE

+25%

By decoupling primary blistering from downstream changeovers you support continuous operation and predictable production.  

Reduced downtime 

90% 

Batch bundling and late-stage customization avoid re-ramping after each market-specific run.

Micro-batch sizes 

70 blisters 

Enable reliable production of very small batches starting from 70 blisters while meeting diverse market requirements and GMP constraints. 

Throughput 

250

Supports line speeds of up to 250 blisters per minute across one or two lanes.  

Changeovers 

< 30 mins 

Perform changeovers with very few format parts in under 30 minutes, using recipe-driven settings for reproducibility and minimal downtime. 

Delivery time 

< 6 weeks 

Accelerate global delivery by 4 to 6 weeks through on-demand secondary packaging and the elimination of pre-printed component lead times.
