RELIABILITY
Safety comes first
CURATED BY
IN PHARMACEUTICAL PACKAGING , reliabili- ty isn’t just a feature, it’s a prerequisite. Patient health and safety depend on pack- aging that performs flawlessly. As a result, visible anti-counterfeit and anti-tamper solutions are no longer optional – they’re industry standard. Unique serial numbers on every unit, QR codes, tear-away labels and sealed cartons are now the backbone of pharmaceutical packaging, ensuring authen- ticity throughout the supply chain. Behind these seemingly simple elements lies a high level of printing expertise. Depending on customer requirements, implementing these solutions can involve complex printing tech- nologies and tightly controlled processes.

QUALITY STANDARDS
Rising print quality standards
IN PHARMACEUTICAL PACKAGING , print quality is under sharper scrutiny than ever. Fibre-based cartons now carry increasingly refined graphics and microlevel detail, pushing precision to new limits. Consistency is non-negotiable: repeatability, especially in colour reproduction, must hold at scale. At the same time, pressure is mounting to optimise the entire packaging line, ensuring smooth, reliable carton runnability and streamlined logistics. Fresh fibre materials deliver higher strength at lower grammages, supporting fast- er, more efficient operations.
