MeadWestvaco Healthcare Packaging: Enhancing compliance, ease of use, and brand equity

MeadWestvaco Healthcare Packaging:  Enhancing compliance, ease of use, and brand equityThe ConnectedBranding™ feature of the Dosepak® package platform ensures that the information, instructions and branding of the outer carton stay with the inner card for the life of the therapy treatment to enhance patient compliance.

With Dosepak packaging, there is ample billboard space for branding and patient education materials. This package has been proven effective in titration, combination, and many other therapies. Independent testing has proven this package very senior friendly, even though it can achieve the highest U.S. child resistance rating (F=1).

Dosepak has received a number of industry awards, including the WorldStar award.

Shellpak™ package – a DuPont International Award winner

This first-of-its-kind molded plastic blister package is like a bottle for a blister. This packaging can be used in a variety of applications, both ethical and OTC. The rigid plastic shell makes it an ideal package for people that need to take their medicine on the go. Best of all, it can be configured in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, opening up unprecedented opportunities for marketing and branding efforts. This patent-protected design runs easily on most existing line equipment and thanks to its push-button technology, the Shellpak packaging platform is senior friendly, yet boasts the highest (F=1) U.S. child protection rating. An optional extended content label provides ample room for product and health literacy information.

Surepak® is a unique packaging solution, available in two sizes, which combines rigid plastic and paperboard components. The outer package, with a special locking mechanism, earned both Surepak package sizes an F=1 child protection rating, while being tested and judged senior friendly by an independent laboratory.

In addition to promoting patient compliance and persistence, Surepak offers significant amounts of billboard space for directions and patient instructions and can include an inner panel for dosing regimens, a large insert, and even a CD.

And, most important, the package was specifically designed as a flexible container to accommodate various blister sizes that makes it an ideal package for small volume production or clinical trials.
