The increasing incidence of tampering in pharmaceutical packaging poses a high risk to public health, raising the demand for anti-tampering devices in the industry.
With the aim of offering a solution that effectively and safely highlights tampering in packaging, we created a stimulating collaboration with IGB Innovative Graphic Boxes, a company from Lombardy, Italy, specialising in the design of folding cartons for the pharmaceutical sector.
“At Palladio Group, we firmly believe in the power of collaboration to achieve impactful innovations” said Gabriele Molari, Chief Technology Officer & Chief Marketing Officer of Palladio Group, “which is why we have created the Innovation Hub, a fertile ground for discussion where new ideas and projects take shape together with suppliers, customers, start-ups, universities and all stakeholders in the healthcare sector, including our competitors.”
Antonio Marchi, General Manager of Palladio Group, adds that “it is within this environment that new solutions are born and developed through successful partnerships. Like IGB, at Palladio Group we adopt a vision focused on innovation as the driver of our growth.”
The main objective of this partnership is to introduce a leading product to the pharmaceutical sector that represents a concrete solution to medicine tampering, one of the industry’s greatest challenges to date.
This allows us to present a solution that goes beyond adherence to the Falsified Medicines Directive 2011/62/EU (FMD) on drug safety, marking a significant step in our commitment to excellence in several areas:
Patient Safety
The Tamper Evident solution enhances pharmaceutical packaging security with a design that visibly indicates tampering, ensuring product integrity and compliance with industry standards. The seal is integrated into the box and is automatically broken upon opening. The breakage is irreversible, evident, and visible.
Environmental sustainability
The innovative Tamper Evident with built-in seal eliminates the need for labels or glue, reducing CO2 emissions and overall energy consumption.
A Lean solution
This Tamper Evident solution differentiates itself through efficiency, maximising OEE by reducing micro-stops, defects and refilling. It simplifies supply chain management with fewer packaging and inventory changes needed. It requires no additional investment, easily adapting to existing machinery and improving overall efficiency.
