What is medicine bottles?

Pharma packaging is available in standard and custom designs as with all other types of packaging from Packwise.

Requirements for pharma packaging

It is important to be aware of the requirements for pharma packaging. Pharmaceutical packaging is subject to some rules to ensure that users use the products correctly and safely. For safety reasons, the labelling on the packaging must be in indelible, easily legible, visible letters. In addition, it is essential that patients can take the medicine as prescribed and ordered so that it works as intended. At Packwise, we consider ease of use when designing your medicine packaging. We follow the legal requirements for your pharmaceutical packaging. Indeed, there may be specific requirements for storage, safety and product protection depending on your product content. Naturally, we will develop your packaging in accordance with any regulatory requirements that may apply to your product packaging.

What to consider when designing pharma packaging?

When designing pharma packaging, there is, as mentioned, a lot to take into account. We have put together a guide on how to design your pharma packaging in terms of usability, shape, colour, font and legibility, sustainability and safety:

Ease of use

For consumers to benefit from your product and want to invest in it again, it is essential that the packaging is user-friendly. It must be easy for consumers to use the product correctly. User-friendliness must therefore be taken into account when designing and developing packaging. This is of course also true for pharma packaging such as medicine bottles, medicine boxes etc.

Shape

The shape of your pharma packaging has an impact on how customers perceive your product and brand. In addition, some packaging shapes are better suited to some products than others. It is therefore important that you consider the shape of your pharma packaging.

Colour

Some of the most popular colours in pharmaceutical packaging design are white, blue, red, green and brown. Colours have a psychological effect on people, so it’s worth considering which colours to include in your product’s packaging design. Colours have a big impact on the look of your packaging. You should therefore carefully consider what you want to signal with your product and your brand. Colours can also help capture consumers’ attention and are an effective way to stand out from your competitors.

Font and readability

The choice of font is one of the basic elements in the packaging design of pharma products. As mentioned earlier, it is a legal requirement that the labeling on the packaging must be in indelible, legible, visible characters. It is therefore essential to choose a font that is easy for consumers to decode.

Sustainability

Developing sustainable packaging solutions is becoming increasingly popular. There is a wide range of materials that can be said to be more sustainable than conventional plastics in some respects. You should consider whether you want your packaging to be more sustainable by, for example, being made from recycled plastic. This can benefit both the environment and your business, as many consumers value sustainability. 

Safety

It is important that safety is at the forefront when developing packaging for pharma products. We want to help you with that at Packwise. The primary purpose of pharma packaging is to keep the pharmaceutical product safe until the expiry date is exceeded.
