Pack-Age™
DSM Specialty Packaging introduced Pack-Age™, an innovative, permeable packaging concept for natural ripening of semi-hard and hard cheeses. The Pack-Age™ concept represents a new approach developed by DSM Specialty Packaging which makes it possible to ripen cheeses naturally to give an optimum taste and texture of the ripened cheese without the risk of mold formation. While controlling moisture loss during ripening and encouraging the development of a dry rind, the Pack-Age™ ripening concept also increases the value of the cheese and offers opportunities to develop exceptional new cheeses. 

OtCM™
DSM TCG (part of DSM Specialty Packaging) develops and markets pharmaceutical medication packaging solutions that enable a patient’s therapy compliance to be monitored in real time.

The purpose of DSM TCG's OtCM™ system is to ensure that patients are taking their medication on time and at the frequency recommended by their therapist in order to avoid non-compliance issues that could lead to suboptimal patient health and quality of life and consequently extra medical costs. The OtCM™ system essentially consists of medication packaging, communication devices and software which are all based on e-communication.
