Challenge
Our customer needed to include all federally-mandated information with the packaging of their medication.
Solution
Create two miniature folded inserts to include in the packaging – a package insert and a medication guide.
Success
Our customer was able to include all of the necessary information about their medication without cumbersome packaging issues.
It can be difficult for pharmaceutical companies to include all information they are federally mandated to provide with their medication packaging. As a result, they have to get creative with ways to follow regulations without their packaging overflowing with printed materials. Many companies, including this customer, solve this problem with miniature printing and folding. These pharmaceutical package inserts fold down into compact pieces that can easily be included with packaging.
This customer includes two inserts with their medication – a package insert with necessary information for medical practices, and a medication guide with important information for patients. Both pieces fold down to 1.25″ by 1.25″ for easy handling and include all relevant and federally-mandated information. The package insert, also referred to as a PI, has a flat size of 12.25″ by 16″ and has 260 total panels. Printed in black ink on the front and back of the sheet, this insert includes prescribing information and other instructions for medical practices.
These images show both folded pieces, the flat PI sheet and the flat medication guide sheet.
The medication guide, also referred to as a patient package insert (PPI), focuses on information relevant to the patient, including possible side effects, a description of the medication and how to take it. This insert has a flat size of 8.625″ by 9.8″ and has 112 total panels. The text on both inserts is well-organized and laid out and therefore easy to comprehend.
Miniature folding is the perfect solution for pharmaceutical package inserts. Pharmaceutical companies can easily provide all of the federally-mandated information in a compact package, and save money as a result. Our ability to produce the entire insert in house also provides an opportunity for cost savings. Curious about how miniature folding could help your business? Request a quote today!
