Custom Pharmaceutical Boxes

Custom Pharmaceutical Packaging Solutions For Wholesale Brands 

Pharmaceutical products' packaging requires a stricter level of scrutiny than standard goods. So, your packaging must be strictly compliant with FDA guidelines. A thoughtfully designed packaging preserves product integrity during handling and storage. Moreover, it includes clear dosage instructions and batch information with expiration dates. At Plus Printers, we manufacture custom pharmaceutical packaging for your brand around your product. We build these boxes with FSC-certified materials. We also offer free sample packs and design support. So, you can consult and see whether the box is designed according to FDA compliance. 

Further, we offer flexible MOQs suitable for sample runs and scaling productions. We have fast turnaround times within 6-8 working days across the US.

Why Custom Pharmaceutical Packaging Is Different From Standard Packaging 

When you order custom cosmetic boxes, the worst thing that can happen is that your design will be rejected. But in the case of custom pharmaceutical packaging, missing a small mark can lead to serious consequences. You will receive misbranding claims, and you have to recall the product. 

So, you have to design pharmaceutical packaging in a way that meets the Food and Drug Administration's expectations. We offer a free sample pack so you can check and evaluate the box before committing to the full production. You do not have to blindly trust a 3D mockup or digital proof. We understand how much the right packaging matters for your brand. 

FDA-Compliance Custom Pharmaceutical Packaging 

The FDA-compliant packaging involves various factors such as materials and labelling. Our free design support team helps you in creating packaging according to the requirements. We offer FSC-certified materials that are not just a mark of sustainable packaging. It is suitable for brands that want a packaging to be built completely around sustainable practices. 

Pharmaceutical products have higher-standard label requirements than other consumer categories. The labels must be clear, readable, and properly placed with all the required information. Similarly, the materials of the packaging come in direct contact with the product. So, the inks and coatings used on the material must be safe for contact. Our packaging experts work within the baseline expectations. It ensures that your packaging fulfills the regulatory requirements.

Further, if your pharma products fall under OTC or prescription categories, your packaging must be child-resistant. It is mandatory under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. So, your packaging must secure blister configurations depending on your product format. We build child-resistant features into your packaging without compromising the appeal and safety. 

Custom Pharmaceutical Packaging Solutions by Product Type

Every pharmaceutical product has unique packaging requirements. A packaging box that is designed for painkiller tablets does not work for injections and vials. We offer personalized pharmaceutical packaging built around your specific product. 

Clinical Trial and Blinded Packaging

Clinical and blinded placebo-controlled trials require packaging that looks identical across investigational arms. This packaging has its own rulebook. It must have no visual cues that could compromise trial integrity. We build blinded packaging according to the specification so the trial data stays clean. 

OTC and Consumer Health Packaging

Some products live or die based on their shelf presence in the retail environment. Over-the-counter products are one of them. They must have a tamper-evident seal and labelling requirements. We customize OTC pharmaceutical packaging boxes that grab attention in a crowded environment without compromising on the compliance guidelines, 

Pharmacy and Prescription Packaging 

Prescription packaging includes unit-dose formats, clear labelling, and compatibility with serialization requirements. It is mandatory under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA). We build medicine boxes that keep pace with the track-and-trace expectation. 

Supplement and Nutraceutical Boxes 

Supplements also require compliance with FDA labelling rules. They must be packaged in a box that preserves their potency. So, they require a box that protects the supplement. We design supplement boxes that hold both compliance and shelf appeal of the box.  

Medical Device Protective Packaging 

Medical devices require an appealing and attractive packaging. We manufacture custom medical boxes with foam inserts that secure the device in transit. We build packaging according to the physical realities of shipping. So, your products can reach their destination safely.

Moreover, the packaging will perform in different distribution environments. We offer customized pharmaceutical packaging that protects the product and builds your brand identity. Our packaging experts help you choose the ideal packaging format and coatings for your products. Some of the packaging selection factors include:

1. Product sensitivity is one of the major elements that decides how your product will be affected by moisture, oxygen, and light during transportation. We offer barrier coating and protective lamination with custom inserts to ensure the best fit for your product.
