Why choose our tablet packaging?

Our medicine packaging offers numerous technical, operational and marketing benefits:

Our packaging enables you to meet traceability and safety requirements while enhancing the visual presence and credibility of your brand in a highly regulated environment.

Types of packaging suitable for tablets

Choosing the right type of box is essential to ensure the safety, legibility and logistical efficiency of your tablet packaging. At Labelprint24, we offer several proven technical designs that comply with industry standards for tablet blister packs.

Foldable box with insert tab

This is the most common format for blister packaging for tablets. It closes easily with an insertable flap and is suitable for both manual packaging and semi-automatic lines. It is ideal for small to medium series of tablet packaging.

Box with semi-automatic base

This box provides better stability for heavier products or those containing multiple elements (blisters + leaflet + accessories). The bottom closes quickly without glue, facilitating handling during production, especially for medicine box packaging.

Tamper-evident closure box

Designed to meet the safety requirements of prescription medicines or those susceptible to counterfeiting, this type of pharmaceutical packaging includes security flaps or specific labelling areas to detect any unauthorised opening. It is essential for protecting tablet blister packs.

Box with viewing window

Recommended for OTC products or food supplements, it allows the contents (blister pack or bottle) to be viewed without opening the box. It may include a transparent protective film.

Box with inner insert

Utilised to hold multiple blisters or accessories (pipettes, capsules, sticks) securely in place. The cardboard insert enhances presentation while ensuring products are secured during transport, vital for all forms of medicine box packaging.

Available materials and weights

We use high-quality materials, selected for their compatibility with pharmaceutical requirements and their suitability for protecting tablets:

We offer several weights depending on the type of packaging required:

All our materials comply with standards for indirect contact with medicines and meet legal, safety and traceability requirements.

Available formats and customisation options

Diversity of shapes and formats is essential in the pharmaceutical industry, where each product has its own specific secondary packaging requirements. At Labelprint24, we offer you complete freedom to adapt your packaging to your technical, regulatory and marketing constraints.

100% customisable formats

Our tablet packaging is custom-designed, taking into account:

• The size of the blisters or bottles to be inserted
  
• The number of units per box
  
• Additional accessories (leaflets, silica packets, coupons, etc.)
  
• Existing packaging lines (compatibility with filling, folding or gluing machines)
  

You are free to define the length, width and height of your box using our configurator. Each format is calculated to the nearest millimetre, ensuring a perfect fit without overuse of cardboard or risk of your product moving inside the packaging.

Advanced technical customisation

Our cutting and printing technology allows for extensive customisation:

• Special flap shapes (rounded corners, easy opening, secure tab)
  
• Additional viewing windows (with or without transparent film)
• Precise positioning of folds, creases and gluing tabs
• Adaptation for automatic in-line insertion
  

This facilitates seamless integration into your logistics process while enhancing the user experience while maintaining patient safety.

Graphic customisation: branding, legibility, compliance

Each box can be fully printed, both inside and out, with:

• Your branding elements (logo, colours, visual elements)
• Regulatory information (product name, dosage, legal notices)
• Instructions for use, pictograms, safety icons
• Traceability elements (barcode, Data Matrix, QR code, variable numbering)

We guarantee high legibility, which is essential in the healthcare sector. Printing is carried out in industrial quality with optimal precision, even for the smallest characters.

Industrial compatibility

All our finishes are designed to remain compatible with pharmaceutical packaging lines (folding, gluing, filling, labelling) without compromising on speed or compliance with industry requirements.

Typical applications & use cases

Our pharmaceutical packaging for tablets fits perfectly into various distribution and packaging contexts. It meets the strict requirements of laboratories, subcontractors, distributors and healthcare professionals.

For pharmaceutical laboratories, they are an ideal solution for the secondary packaging of blister packs, both for prescription medicines and over-the-counter (OTC) products. The packaging can be used for new product launches, pilot batches and clinical trials, and is fully compatible with serialisation and regulatory identification processes.

Manufacturers of dietary supplements appreciate the flexibility of our boxes, which allow them to create personalised treatments or promotional formats. High-quality printing enhances your branding, even when there is a lot of mandatory information.

Our packaging is also commonly used by pharmaceutical distributors and hospitals to repackage tablets for care units. Clear signage (barcodes, pictograms, colour coding) enhances traceability and safety throughout the supply chain.

Finally, our boxes are perfectly suited to online sales, ensuring both product protection during transport and an elegant presentation when the package is opened.
