FDA ruling

Over-the-counter sunscreen products will not have to implement the new drug facts rule establishing standardized format and content requirements for labeling OTC drugs until the Food and Drug Administration finishes additional rule making for sunscreens.

Oct 31st, 2004

The implementation date for other drugs is May 16, 2005. Until the agency announces a new compliance date, sunscreens can be marketed with current labeling formats.

All four folding cartons shown here were printed on the Landa S10 and then creased and cut on the Highcon Beam, and the run lengths ranged from 2,000 to 10,000 units.
A First in All-Digital Package Converting
This Texas converter is the first in North America to commercially operate a nanographic press for packaging. Just as impressive, carton creasing and cutting are digital, too.
