  • Approximately 50% of all recalls are due to packaging errors.

  • Consumer safety cannot be compromised by mislabeled products, including usage instructions, allergen warnings, and ingredient statements.

  • Life science companies cannot afford to compromise quality, in packaging or anything else.

  • Information Technology systems that are document-based do not address critical packaging issues in life sciences.

  • Integrated packaging management provides needed functionality to ensure top quality.

    Haldane said, “Many pharmaceutical companies have over-the-counter products, too.” He explained that consumer packaged goods companies have distinct packaging needs that if addressed can produce significant results, including:

  • Increasing speed to market

  • Reducing packaging costs

  • Enforcing brand standards.

  • Complying with retailer mandates.
