Pharmaceutical Packaging

We produce pharmaceutical cartons with the panel configuration, tamper-evidence specification, and material certifications appropriate for TGA-regulated product classifications. However, the regulatory compliance responsibility rests with the brand and should be confirmed with your regulatory consultant before finalising the packaging brief. Our team works from the regulatory content and panel layout brief you provide and ensures the structural design accommodates all required text fields at legible type sizes.

The panel layout of pharmaceutical cartons is designed from the compliance brief first — mandatory text fields (active ingredient listing, dosage, scheduling information, batch and expiry date panels, AUST number) are positioned and sized before any brand artwork is applied. This ensures regulatory information is legible at the required type size and panel area without compromising the brand design panels. Dieline proof review includes confirmation of compliance text field sizing before artwork sign-off.

Available tamper-evidence features include glue seal configurations (the carton cannot be opened without visibly breaking the adhesive bond), tear-strip seals (a perforated strip the customer removes before the box can be opened — provides clear evidence of interference), and score-to-break panels (panels that cannot be resealed once opened). The appropriate format depends on your product's classification and the tamper-evidence standard required by the applicable distribution channel.

Yes. Child-resistant closure configurations — push-and-turn and squeeze-and-slide formats — are available for products requiring CR packaging under Australian standards. These structural features must be specified at the dieline design stage. If you are uncertain whether your product requires CR packaging, confirm that requirement with your regulatory consultant before briefing us — it significantly affects the structural design.

Yes. Panel areas reserved for serialisation barcode, 2D code, or QR code application are incorporated into the structural design of the dieline at the appropriate size and position for your serialisation system. If variable serial codes need to be printed in-line (rather than applied as a label), this requires digital printing capability and affects the print method used — advise our team of this requirement at the quoting stage.

Pharmaceutical cartons are produced from SBS board with food and pharmaceutical contact certification. Adhesive formulations carry food and pharmaceutical contact safety documentation. Printing inks are specified from certified pharmaceutical packaging ink suppliers. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and supply chain certification documentation are available for orders where audit compliance or regulatory dossier requirements demand traceability evidence.

Pharmaceutical packaging briefs involve commercially sensitive product and regulatory information. Our team treats all pharmaceutical order documentation with the confidentiality appropriate to the category — design files, regulatory content, product specifications, and formulation references shared during the quoting and production process are not disclosed externally. If specific confidentiality requirements apply to your project, discuss them with our account team at the start of the engagement.
