Folding cartons

Pharmaceutical cartons for blister packs are secondary packaging solutions designed to enclose and protect the primary containers of tablets, capsules or other solid forms. Made of folding cardboard with customisable grammage (FSC-certified or recycled to meet sustainability and performance requirements), they ensure protection against impact, light and moisture and serve as a communication medium for mandatory information for patients and healthcare professionals. Their outer surface is suitable for offset, digital or high-definition heptachrome printing and allows for Braille and special finishes (UV or soft-touch coatings, embossing), as well as the integration of traceability and security devices, such as serialisation and anti-counterfeiting systems.

Pharmaceutical cartons for bottles are secondary packaging solutions conceived to provide optimal protection for glass, plastic or metal bottles. Cartons for bottles can be designed to include customised die-cut inserts or built-in anchoring systems to immobilise the bottle and minimise the risk of breakage or damage during transport. They are produced using high-definition offset printing for impeccable graphics or digital printing for greater flexibility and can include Braille embossing and traceability and security devices using serialisation or anti-counterfeiting systems, embellishments or special finishes.

TECOBOX tamper-evident pharmaceutical cartons are designed to ensure the security and integrity of medicines. Their design incorporates a seal that visibly and irreversibly breaks at first use, thus ensuring compliance with Directive 2011/62/EU (FMD), Regulation (EU) 2016/161 and EN ISO 21976:2020. Made entirely of cardboard, they eliminate the need for glues and adhesives, reducing the environmental impact and simplifying recycling. The absence of additional materials optimises production processes, reduces defects and operating costs, and improves efficiency even when packaging is carried out manually, while offering an environmentally-friendly and safe solution.

Folding cartons with integrated leaflets are highly efficient packaging solutions that combine cartons with a leaflet to obtain one cohesive unit. They eliminate the need to insert the leaflet separately, which optimises packaging processes and reduces the risk of errors or omissions. As the leaflet is neatly folded and attached to the inside of the box, it remains accessible to the patient but is protected from damage or loss. This solution is particularly advantageous for products in which space is limited or for packaging lines that benefit from increased automation.

Hanger cartons are pharmaceutical packaging solutions designed to facilitate product display at the point of sale, particularly in pharmacies or retail distribution channels. They have a die-cut hole at the top allowing them to be hung on displays or hooks, thereby increasing product visibility on the shelf. The strength of the cardboard and the precision of the die-cutting process ensure that the hanger withstands the weight of the product and point-of-sale handling without deforming or breaking, making it an effective solution for OTC (over-the-counter) products or medical devices that benefit from increased exposure.

Folding cartons with tray are secondary pharmaceutical packaging solutions developed to protect and stabilise vials, pre-filled syringes, insulin pens or other primary containers..

Folding cartons with an integrated, custom die-cut tray and a pocket for the patient information leaflet. This solution is designed to securely immobilise each vial and prevent breakage, impact and unwanted movement during transport and handling. In addition to providing physical protection, this solution improves the internal organisation of the carton and the presentation of the product and helps to create a safer and more professional experience.

The Palladio Group’s counter display cartons are tertiary pharmaceutical packaging solutions designed for displaying and promoting pharmaceutical products directly at the point of sale, typically on the counter of pharmacies, drug stores or specialised shops. The sturdy cardboard display cartons not only hold and organise multiple product units, but also serve as a visual marketing tool able to attract the consumer’s attention. Designed for easy assembly and filling, they also feature eye-catching graphics and space for promotional or informative messages. These characteristics make them ideal for new product launches, seasonal promotions or to increase the visibility of over-the-counter products.
