Custom Custom Pharmaceutical Boxes

Pharma packaging is a document as much as a carton

Custom pharmaceutical boxes carry information that has to be right every time: strength, batch, expiry, storage temperature, barcode, Braille. We treat the artwork as a controlled file. Every proof is versioned, every text change is listed, and nothing goes to plate until you sign the version number.

Cartons run on 300gsm to 400gsm SBS or folding boxboard with food-grade, low-migration inks. For blister packs we use a straight tuck end with a locking flap; for bottles and vials a reverse tuck with a tamper-evident perforation across the lid.

Braille, barcodes and small type

Braille is embossed on the front or side panel to Marburg Medium spacing, checked against your text file so dot height stays consistent after folding. Barcodes and data matrix codes are placed on a flat, unvarnished panel with quiet zones intact so scanners read them at first pass. Legal copy holds at 7pt with clear leading, and we keep dosage lines out of any area that will be glued or creased.

Inserts, leaflets and secondary packing

We fold and supply patient information leaflets to fit the carton, either loose or machine-inserted. Vial trays are cut from 1.2mm greyboard or fluted board so ampoules stay separated in transit. Shippers can be printed plain outside for discretion, with only the batch label showing.

Print, quality checks and ordering

Offset litho gives the flat, even solids this category needs. Finish choices stay practical: matte varnish, spot UV on the brand mark, cold foil where a range needs a premium tier. Each run is inspected for glue strength, crease alignment and colour against the approved proof.

Minimum order is 50 cartons and production runs 8 to 10 working days after approval, with a free dieline and 3D mockup first. Compare stocks in our [Supplement Boxes](/supplement-boxes) range or send your carton drawing for a quote.
