The purpose of secondary packaging is to:
- Confirm your brand and its identity.
- Build customer loyalty.
- Ensure high quality outcomes with no leaks, spills, crush, waste or damage.
- Provide full packaging facilities for the Pharmaceutical, Biocidal and Cosmetic sectors with our profound skills and knowledge within the area of expertise.
- Launch products within the expected timeframe.
Secondary packaging consists of a display of products available to speed up the time from store to shelf, such as retail ready packaging, shelf ready packaging or counter top display units. It comes in many forms and cartons are especially useful for pharmaceuticals, as well as food, hardware and other products.
Secondary Packaging in the pharmaceutical industry must consider:
- Easy dispensation
- Child-resistance
- User-friendliness for older people
- To be identifiable, functional and hermetically sealed.
- Providing information regarding the contents of the package, like batch number, expiry date, storage conditions, the manufacturer’s name and address, etc.
- Assistance in patient compliance, designed as per the clients’ needs.
- Protection of fragile products against damage in transit as damage can happen easily to pharmaceutical products with many features like vials, syringes, small bottles, ampules and more which requires gentle handling.
This particular industry has very specific packaging needs and so different packaging materials may be required from product to product.
