An Introduction to Pharmaceutical Packaging and Labeling

Still, their importance is often underestimated, especially in the planning phases, which leads to unnecessary increases in cycle time, costly errors, and delays in product availability, or product recalls due to noncompliance. Understanding the packaging and labeling process in the larger product development process will provide you an advantage in achieving success.

Why Should You Attend:

Pharmaceutical and life sciences companies are under an extreme amount of pressure to comply with an ever-increasing amount of regulation and legislation. With this pressure, they still need to increase efficiencies, bring new products to the market faster, reduce prices, deliver innovation, ensure patient compliance, and maintain business compliance. Packaging and Labeling activities are at the forefront of this effort, as much of their activity occurs shortly before product manufacture and distribution.
