Dosepak Express Adherence Packaging
Dosepak Express™ is a medication pack designed to prompt and educate patients to take medication correctly and on time. The integrated blister and paperboard pack provides product differentiation and billboard space for brand owners. For manufacturers, it is easily automated on existing production lines, and is child resistant and senior friendly.
Features and Benefits
Child Safe and Senior-Friendly
Dosepak Express™ blister packages offer patients and brand owners peace of mind, having earned the highest child resistance rating on U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission protocol tests: F=1. Dosepak Express is also patient-friendly, with a 100 percent rating on senior opening protocol tests.
Easy on Manufacturers
Dosepak Express leverages the flexibilty and branding and education space of an outer folding carton with an integrated blister pack that easily runs on most existing packaging equipment. Manufacturers maintain efficient, economical processing on production lines with the compact design, both in blistering and cartoning.
Patient-Friendly, Integrated Design
Unlike existing pharma packs — standard bottles, amber vials (standard, orange pill bottles from pharmacies) and blister card in a box designs — Dosepak Express combines a leaflet or insert, outer carton and blister in one integrated pack. This integrated design helps ensure that patients follow the labeling and adherence information throughout the regimen. Dosepak Express is designed with a calendar and an easy push-through blister to help patients remember which pills to take and when (e.g. night or day tablet).
Billboard Space for Education and Branding
Dosepak Express's large, fold-out panel holds package information leaflets or inserts (PIL or PI), and its paperboard design has space for dosing instructions, reminders and branding. The design helps build patient adherence, strong brand identification and patient loyalty, and allows for large, readable fonts.
Safe and Efficient Format
The efficient, pass-through Dosepak Express eliminates the need for pharmacists to repackage medication into pharmacy vials — saving time and money while helping prevent dispensing errors. And Dosepak Express packages stack and store more efficiently than amber vials, saving shelf space.
Better for the Environment
We use renewable paperboard resources to produce the outer carton of our Dosepak Express packages versus petro-based plastic vials.
