Medicine packaging that protects patients, products and your brand
In pharmaceuticals, packaging is more than a box – it’s an essential part of safety, compliance and trust. At PrintPacking, we design and produce cardboard medicine packaging that keeps products secure in the supply chain, presents critical information clearly and supports your brand in pharmacies, hospitals and clinics.
Pharma-appropriate cardboard for blisters, bottles and kits
Every medicine packaging project starts with the right board. We use high-quality, white cardboard grades selected for:
Clean, precise folds for small formats and tight tolerances
Sufficient stiffness for heavier glass or PET bottles and multi-pack kits
Surfaces optimised for sharp text and clear barcodes
We match board thickness and construction to the dosage form:
Blister cartons for tablets and capsules
Folded cartons for small bottles, tubes and sprays
Kit and starter packs for combination therapies or devices
So your medicine boxes survive cartoning, packing and distribution without splitting, bowing or collapsing.
Structural design with tamper-evidence and logistics in mind
Pharmaceutical cartons must function on multiple levels:
Manufacturing – run reliably on automated cartoning lines
Distribution – stack in cases and on pallets without damage
Use – open predictably without destroying key information
We design medicine packaging with:
Tamper-evident features (e.g. tuck-in flaps with tear features, perforations that clearly show opening)
Optimised internal space for blisters, leaflets and bottles without excessive movement
Case-packing dimensions that fit your existing logistics and pallet patterns
The result: cartons that pack and ship efficiently and clearly show if they’ve been opened.
Clarity for dosage, warnings and barcodes
In medicine, legibility is non-negotiable. We structure layouts so that:
Product name and strength are prominent and easy to distinguish
Dosage, route of administration, storage and warnings are grouped logically
Allergen or special warnings are not “hidden” within text blocks
Barcodes (EAN/GS1) and technical codes are scannable and consistently placed
Using high-quality offset printing and suitable board, we help ensure:
Small type remains sharp and readable
Colour coding across strengths/forms is consistent and recognisable
Critical information is visible even under shelf lighting or in hospital storage.
(Exact regulatory content and placement always follow your approved artwork / RA guidance.)

Braille, coding areas and regulatory elements
Many medicine cartons require additional technical elements. We can design and produce packaging that includes:
Braille embossing on main panels where required
Reserved areas for lot number and expiry (e.g. inkjet or laser coding)
Clear placement for regulatory symbols, CE marks, recycling icons and language codes
We pay special attention to:
Braille position vs. carton creases and folds
Ensuring coding zones are accessible on the line and remain legible after packing
Keeping compliance-related elements integrated into a clean, professional design.
Families of medicine packaging for OTC and Rx products
Most pharma and healthcare brands work with entire ranges, not single SKUs. We create coherent packaging families for:
OTC products – pain relief, cold & flu, vitamins, dermatology, etc.
Prescription medicines – blisters, small-volume injectables, chronic therapy packs
Hospital and clinic packs – larger cartons or kits for professional use
We can differentiate:
By strength or flavour – through controlled colour coding and icons
By indication or line – through consistent graphic elements or panel layouts
So your brand is easily recognisable across shelves, drawers and storage units.
