Why Choose Our Pharmaceutical Boxes
Custom Pharmaceutical Boxes | GMP-Compliant Drug & Medical Device Packaging
Pharmaceutical packaging operates under the strictest regulatory requirements in the consumer products industry — every material, process, and structural element must be documented, validated, and compliant with FDA 21 CFR, EU GMP, and applicable ICH guidelines. Our pharmaceutical packaging is manufactured in quality-managed environments with documented material traceability, print registration controls, and serialization-ready surfaces that meet the compliance requirements of pharmaceutical manufacturers, contract packagers, and medical device companies.
Pharmaceutical Packaging Formats
- Drug Product Cartons: Folding cartons for solid oral dosage (tablets, capsules), liquid medications (syrups, suspensions), and topical products
- Medical Device Packaging: Tyvek-lidded thermoformed trays and pouches for sterile medical device packaging
- OTC Retail Cartons: Consumer-facing folding cartons for over-the-counter medications with consumer health information panels
- Clinical Trial Packaging: Numbered and labeled packaging for clinical investigation medicinal products (CIMPs)
- Sample Packaging: Healthcare professional sample packaging meeting FDA sampling regulation requirements
Serialization and Track & Trace
The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) requires serialized product identification on pharmaceutical packaging — a unique 2D datamatrix code encoding the NDC, serial number, lot number, and expiration date on each saleable unit. Our pharmaceutical cartons are produced with serialization-ready surfaces: matte varnish zones with controlled substrate smoothness that ensures reliable 2D code printing and scanning at pharmaceutical packaging line speeds.
Child-Resistant Requirements
Prescription drug products and many OTC categories require child-resistant (CR) packaging certified to CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20. We manufacture CR-compliant folding cartons with push-and-turn, squeeze-and-slide, and peel-and-push CR mechanisms.
DSCSA Serialization Requirements for Pharmaceutical Packaging
The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) requires that every saleable unit of prescription drug product carry a unique product identifier — a 2D datamatrix code encoding the National Drug Code (NDC), a unique serial number, the lot number, and the expiration date. This code must be printed and verified at the pharmaceutical packaging line, then validated by every subsequent supply chain participant. Pharmaceutical cartons must provide a serialization-ready surface: a matte varnish zone of defined dimensions with controlled substrate smoothness that ensures reliable inkjet printing and scanner verification of the 2D code at line speed.
Child-Resistant Pharmaceutical Carton Mechanisms
CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20 defines the test protocols that CR packaging must pass: a child panel aged 42–51 months must fail to open the package within a defined time, while a senior adult panel must succeed in opening and reclosing it. Pharmaceutical folding carton CR mechanisms include push-and-turn closures (the most common for solid oral dosage cartons), squeeze-and-slide panels (for liquid medications and syrups), and peel-and-push configurations for OTC retail. We test all CR carton designs against CPSC protocols before production release.

Pharmaceutical Boxes in Athens — FAQs
Do your pharmaceutical cartons meet GMP requirements?
Yes. Our pharmaceutical packaging manufacturing operates under documented quality management systems with material traceability, controlled print registration, and batch records. We provide material certificates, print registration data, and batch documentation to support pharmaceutical manufacturers' GMP compliance requirements.
What is a serialization-ready surface?
A serialization-ready surface is a zone on the pharmaceutical carton where the DSCSA 2D datamatrix code will be printed at the pharmaceutical packaging line. This zone uses a matte varnish with controlled smoothness specifications that ensure reliable inkjet code application and camera verification at packaging line speeds of 100–400 cartons per minute.
Can you produce child-resistant pharmaceutical cartons?
Yes. We manufacture CR-compliant folding cartons with push-and-turn, squeeze-and-slide, and peel-and-push mechanisms certified to CPSC 16 CFR 1700.20. CR mechanism selection is based on the drug product type, target patient population, and line speed requirements.
Do you produce clinical trial packaging?
Yes. Clinical trial packaging (CIMPs) requires individual unit numbering, randomization code concealment, and blinding packaging for double-blind studies. We produce numbered clinical trial cartons with sequential numbering, scratch-off concealment panels for randomization codes, and temperature indicator labels for cold-chain clinical products.

Yes. UGA-connected businesses, student entrepreneurs, and Athens' growing startup ecosystem use our custom packaging with our startup-accessible 100-unit minimum.
