Trio offer customised packaging for pharmaceuticals
Portfolio management specialist PGM Consulting has joined forces with Pago and outsource services provider Brecon Pharmaceuticals to launch the UK's first Late Stage Customisation (LSC) facility for packaged products.
The new LSC facility, which provides pharmaceutical customers with a fast and economic solution for urgent, unpredictable or sporadic packaging requirements, will enable pharmaceutical customers to continue to produce bulk volumes of standard, generic and primary packs. The packs can then be fully customised in-house or by packaging providers such as Brecon, using digitally printed clear label technology, which enables the late addition of customer specific language, booklets and leaflets. The system also enables the packs to carry sequential numbers, as well as 2D datamatrix codes for traceability throughout the supply chain.
The service uses proven print and late stage application technology from Colchester-based Pago, which will also be supplying Brecon with the LSC consumables. Brecon will be installing the LSC equipment in its new multi-million pound production facility in Hay-on-Wye, which is scheduled for completion in autumn 2005.
