Packaging for pharma companies is a core part of bringing products to the market. Here’s a list of pitfalls to avoid for successful pharmaceutical packaging results:
Designing without a packaging firm
The best way to develop the right packaging for a product is for drug companies to find and partner up with a packaging firm. However, many make the mistake of focusing on the product first and only getting the packaging firm to come in at the later stages of product development. That leads to a lot of problems, mistakes and wasted effort. For optimal results, it’s best that both companies work together right from the start. That’s going to ensure the best-customized solution for the product.
Being too hasty
Getting a product to launch is a race against time. But being too hasty to bring out a product in the market can have adverse effects on your ROI too. If you’re too hasty that you end up picking the wrong packaging solution or supplier, then that’s going to cost your company a lot. Don’t let that happen. Adjust your timetable if you have too. Make sure your bases and covered before you take the plunge.
Picking the wrong one
Careful supplier selection for pharmaceutical packaging is essential. If you end up with the wrong one, that could lead to a lot of problems and unnecessary costs. Make sure you take steps to choose the ideal supplier for your organization. For instance, does the company offer packaging solutions that are compliant with the latest regulations and regulatory guidance on manufacturing processes? That’s just one thing you’ll need to confirm, says PharmTech, before you hire a supplier.
Forgetting about project size
Not all companies have the resources, team and equipment to handle large-volume orders. Make sure the company can handle the scope of your project. Ask beforehand.
