A packaging system for sealing a medicine container having a filling opening with a stopper includes a container tray having a container cell for receiving and stabilizing the medicine container. A shuttle has an exterior surface and an interior surface. The interior surface is configured for releasably securing the stopper. The shuttle is configured to release the stopper into the fill opening upon application of a releasing force to the exterior surface of the shuttle. A shuttle tray has a shuttle cell. The shuttle cell forms a body with a proximal opening, an interior space, a bottom inner surface opposite the proximal opening, and a side inner surface. The shuttle cell releasably secures the shuttle.

Packaging system for small-volume aseptic filling

A packaging system for aseptically packaging, filling, and sealing medical containers includes a container tray () having a container cell () for receiving and stabilizing the medicine container. The system also includes a stopper holder () with a stopper cell () forming a closed body with a distal opening, an interior space, a proximal wall opposite the distal opening, and a proximal outer surface (). The stopper cell () is configured for releasably securing the stopper and releasing the stopper into a fill opening of the medicine container when a compressive force is exerted on the proximal outer surface of the stopper cell ().
