Pharmaceutical Folding
Pharmaceutical Folding uses miniature folding as a solution to fulfilling the governmental content requirements for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and consumer goods. Pharmaceutical companies are required to include a great deal of information with their products, and it can be a struggle to find space for all of this content without increasing the size of your packaging. Many companies have found miniature folding to be an ideal solution for including all of this information without taking up more space than is necessary in the packaging.
What is Miniature Folding?
Miniature folding uses highly specialized equipment to fold down a large sheet of paper with printed content into a small size that fits seamlessly with your product’s packaging and meets FDA regulatory demands.
It is an economical and effective way to include large amounts of information in a small space.
We can use this technology to create inserts, manuals, instruction sheets, coupon booklets and more to include in product packaging. Miniature folding is especially useful for pharmaceutical companies in the creation of inserts, outserts, topserts, IFUs, DFUs, PIs and PPIs that can be included as part of your secondary packaging.

Pharmaceutical Folding Security
We know that security is a top priority and necessity for pharmaceutical manufacturers. This is why we have made it a top priority for ourselves as well. Our facility is under surveillance 24/7, and all entrances and exits are key-code required.
Electronic proofing, physical counts and precision electronic reconciliation are all features of our security measures at Flottman Company. We provide strict quality controls while maintaining flexibility and assuring project efficiency.
Track and Trace Compliance
Are you regulation ready? The United States Federal Government and the European Union will be formally instituting track & trace compliance regulations for pharmaceuticals through the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) later this year.
Flottman Company can support your pharmaceutical serialization requirements for all of your patient inserts. Our 2D data matrix serialization barcode capabilities enable us to reconcile the insert, label or carton seamlessly to satisfy DSCSA compliance regulations.
Our technology will allow you to track and trace your product throughout your distribution system.
