Pharmaceutical Boxes in Waterloo, IA

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.
