Healthcare Packaging

For most consumer products packaging is the quite often the forgotten part of the selling equation. An afterthought to be squeezed in on top of the product cost and the marketing spend.

However for Pharmaceutical packaging, Medical Device packaging and even Clinical Trials packaging it is an absolutely critical part of the mix and is left to the last minute at your peril!

Whilst the major Pharma manufacturers have been well served by the larger Packaging producers, many smaller companies and especially those developing new products and bring them to market for the first time have had a difficult time finding somebody to guide them through the packaging maze.

Healthcare Print and Packaging is specifically set up to fill this gap and help the customer arrive at the correct specification finding the right supplier and contract packer for each of the componants that will be required.

This includes
Pharmaceutical Cartons,
Pharmaceutical Leaflets
Pharmaceutical Labels,
Medical Pouches,
Bottles and Cosures
Ampoules and vials for Clinical trials
Pharmaceutical Contract Packing

Each stage of the process from Constructional design to delivery of the packed product is handled with a professional and thorough approach.

Well we came, we saw , but we couldn't quite conquer. However it wasn't all bad news the award went to a company who was is actually a customer! I have to say it was well deserved as they are much more well established than Healthcare at the minute and have made a real success of their business ~ however they have been going for nearly 3 years.

The biggest buzz of the whole evening was seeing our logo up on 20ft screen and hearing Healthcare Print and Packaging, after only 6 months, being mentioned in the same glowing terms as people and companies who are at the forefront of medical science.

Up for the Cup!

When I started my business, Healthcare Print and Packaging, it seemed like finally the right time to throw myself into a project I had dreamed about for at least the 10 years. Now 6 months on and the work is starting to come in the plans, so carefully made and checked and doubled checked over the last year are proving their worth. P/L, cashflow, budgets etc etc the list is almost endless.

However 1 thing I never envisaged is that we could be ever get so far as to shortlisted in our first year for a business award!

Medilink an umbrella organisation for East Midlands Pharma and Biotech companies, as well as their support services have "whittled" down their list to 3 for "Start Up" of the year. I remain convinced that there must have only been 3 entrants but regardless of that and the fact that we have no hope of winning it has really put a huge smile on my face!

Fortunately the "Ceremony" is not a formal black tie affair as that would be all too surreal but none the less it is fantastic that somebody has taken a look at what we do and thought ~ "They're on to something there!"

Thankfully the quality of the other nominees (I have checked them thoroughly!) means that there is no chance of me having a Gwyneth Paltrow moment but the free publicity is something that I will reveal in.

Wish me luck.....
