This guide is for business-to-business planning. Product availability, regulatory requirements and document acceptance must always be confirmed for the destination market.
Match protection to the product
Moisture, oxygen, light and mechanical stress can affect tablet performance. PVC/PVdC, Alu-Alu, strip foil or bottle systems should be selected after considering product sensitivity and stability data.
Design for the user and channel
Hospital, retail, tender and export channels can require different unit counts, labelling and tamper-evidence. Pack design should balance usability with compliant information.
Plan artwork control
Approved text, colours, barcodes, variable data and language versions require controlled review. Responsibilities for artwork creation, proof approval and printing standards should be documented.
Consider shipping efficiency
Carton dimensions, shipper strength, palletisation and climatic exposure can influence landed cost and product condition. Packaging is a supply-chain decision as much as a branding decision.
