Prevent Retail Pilferage of OTC Medications

Our portfolio of specialty packages for the pharmaceutical industry has grown once again with the introduction of SecureOTC™ for over-the-counter medications. SecureOTC combines a blister card within an outer folding carton for an all-in-one packaging solution for tablets, capsules, vitamins and other pills. Unlike traditional packaging for OTC medications, where the blister card is easily removable, SecureOTC locks the blister card within the outer carton. As a result of its unique design, SecureOTC reduces retail pilferage of OTC medications.

SecureOTC is opened by lifting the back flap and pulling a zipper to access the blister card. This process allows the medication to be removed without damaging the outer carton, which typically contains drug facts, dosing instructions, warnings and expiration dates - information that is essential to proper treatment. The carton remains intact and can be kept for consumer reference.

To see for yourself why SecureOTC is the latest innovation in packaging for over-the-counter medications, visit us at PACK EXPO or request your free sample via e-mail today.

Cartons and Inserts in One Unit

An award-winning pharmaceutical packaging solution, Zip-Sert® combines folding cartons and printed, folded pharmaceutical inserts into one easy-to-use unit. Zip-Sert enables most drug manufacturers to meet unit-of-use requirements without incurring the cost of new packaging equipment. The fully customizable Zip-Sert carton can be produced from any conventional carton stock on the market, and printed and die cut on standard offset or flexographic presses.

Zip-Sert works differently from other pharmaceutical packaging solutions and is designed to simplify packaging operations. Providing for both form and function, Zip-Sert solves insert placement problems, reduces labor costs and downtime, reduces inventory, decreases manual package handling, increases packaging line efficiency, and improves overall quality assurance.

BlisterGuard Delivers Both!

If you're looking for a more sustainable packaging solution to replace plastic clamshells, look no further than BlisterGuard® - the proven clamshell alternative. The environmentally friendly BlisterGuard package meets retailers' demands for more sustainable packaging. Here's how ...

BlisterGuard reduces the use of petroleum-based plastics by up to 70 percent.

BlisterGuard removes printed inserts commonly associated with plastic clamshells.

BlisterGuard reduces energy consumption by using less plastic/polymer material.

BlisterGuard can be recycled and reused to manufacture other paper
    and paperboard.*

BlisterGuard uses a renewable (sustainable) resource as its primary raw material.

Plus, you don't have to sacrifice security for sustainability. BlisterGuard is built with tear-resistant materials designed to reduce retail pilferage, yet it's easy to open at home with scissors. It's also safer to open, since it doesn't result in the sharp edges associated with clamshells.

BlisterGuard is also a marketer's dream. Its large printable area gives you plenty of room for product branding, enabling your products to gain better shelf presentation in the retail aisle.
