NORRIS, Tenn. - Pharma Packaging Solutions, introduced today the new CRx Pack™, a patented F=1 blister packaging solution with a Senior-Friendly (SF) design to assist with dosage compliance while also protecting children via a proprietary Child-Resistant (CR) locking system.

Pharma Packaging Solutions created the CRx Pack so that pharmaceutical customers needing F=1 compliant packaging could also get a leg up on their competition by working directly with the Pharma Packaging Solutions design team to create a customized package with innovative, one-of-a-kind graphics.

That custom design, combined with proprietary construction, ensures the customer's solid-dose pharma product captures market attention while holding to stringent CR-SF standards for compliance, safety and security.

CRx Pack's carded design maintains semi-manual assembly capabilities to accommodate smaller batch runs, and can easily move from clinical trial runs to automated runs for larger volumes.

"We wanted to make sure that the CRx Pack format and packaging dimensions were available in flexible configurations to accommodate monthly regimens as well," said Pharma Packaging Solutions Vice President of Sales Scott Garverick. "At the same time, we needed to incorporate a cost-effective format to support high-speed automated production."

Smaller formatting sizes are also available for holding one or several tablets.

"Here's what our customers are telling us," said Pharma Packaging Solutions President Reid Lederer. "They want compliance card blister packaging that's senior friendly, has visual prompts to aid patient compliance, and offers increased stability and shelf-life. They want child-resistant solutions. And they want a low cost of entry along with minimal tooling.

"And rightfully so," Lederer said. "We were determined to give all of that to them, and that was the impetus behind creating the CRx Pack."

Additionally, pharma companies are increasingly expressing the need to communicate critical messages to their own customers.

As part of the package's customized design, CRx Pack offers ample billboarding for marketing messages along with a customizable secondary packaging for value-added appeal. The package offers multiple panels, versatile sizes, economical SBS paperboard construction, and limitless graphics.

All CRx Pack primary and secondary packaging is created and completed in one facility to ensure that customers also benefit from accelerated speed to market as well as reduced start-up costs.
