Pharmaceutical Printing Solutions

Pharmaceutical printing presents a unique set of challenges and demands a specific kind of industry expertise. Your printed pharmaceutical materials need to be handled correctly through the entire process by a business that understands the ins and outs of this ever-evolving market.

If you end up choosing a printer that not experience and prepared to accommodate pharmaceutical clients, you'll end up wasting time and money sorting out the complex logistics and tiny, important details that can derail your project. Over the years, SunDance has worked closely with many clients in the pharmaceutical industry, and we understand your specific security, material and regulatory needs every step of the way.

Digital Printing for an Ever-Changing Industry

Today, many pharmaceutical brands are printing much smaller quantities than they have in the past. This trend isn’t based solely on last-minute jobs or more niche markets. The lower quantities are a necessity due to ever-changing regulations in place for pharma printing.

Since the FDA guidelines update on a fairly consistent basis, many labels are only compliant for a short period of time—sometimes only 6-9 months. When you include additional security features, this timeline maybe even shorter. SunDance understands the nuances of the pharma industry and is set up to deliver secure, fast, small-run digital labels to fulfil this need.

FDA Requirements and Labeling Guidelines

Labels designed for prescription drugs or medical devices are regulated under the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The guidelines are in place to protect consumer safety when using healthcare and pharmaceutical products. To be FDA-compliant, all printed labels used in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry are required to stay in place and be readable in a variety of environments—from distribution to storage and end-use. It’s our job to ensure your printed label will remain legible throughout your product’s entire lifespan.

To ensure longevity and reduce transfer, SunDance uses low-migration adhesives, coatings, and inks for our pharmaceutical jobs. We also employ a variety of finishing techniques and FDA-approved adhesives that make the label more durable in a variety of conditions.

Pharmaceutical Label Design

With so many regulations in place, designing effective, yet eye-catching, pharmaceutical materials can be a challenge. Our team can help you navigate these hurdles—from designing graphic elements and layouts to choosing the best materials and finishing services.

SunDance can help you grab attention while ensuring the highest safety and effectiveness of your product. We have extensive experience partnering with clients on a variety of pharmaceutical products, including medication bottles, medical devices, prescription labels, drug fact booklets and much more. Our services span a variety of different choices, depending on your unique needs.

SunDance offers a wide range of pharmaceutical label options, including:

  • Smooth peel labels
  • Shrink sleeves
  • Vial labels
  • Extended content and booklet labels
  • Medical device manuals
  • Piggyback labels
  • Thermal transfer labels
  • Medical inserts and outserts

Print Quality and Integrity

Other printers who are less experienced with pharmaceutical labelling may be slowed down by a litany of possible issues that can arise when producing FDA-compliant pharmaceutical labels and packaging. If overlooked, you can end up with a missing copy, obscured letters or irregular graphics. This can slow down the entire job, create uneven results, and stop your product from reaching shelves in a timely manner.

SunDance is focused on creating consistent, high-quality print results for every single job we print. We understand the variation and range of packaging elements necessary to successfully run pharmaceutical print jobs with the highest level of accuracy, quality and consistency every time.

Security and Safety

As a full-service provider, SunDance employs a set of specific security measures when running pharmaceutical print projects. We have an established system in place to ensure the security of our pharmaceutical print projects, including:

  • 24/7, access-controlled and monitored facility
  • Vision and bar-code scanners
  • Glue detection systems
  • Secure waste steam management
  • Strict quality control and review processes in place

We also offer a full range of specialized security printing services to increase the safety of your pharmaceutical products, including:

  • RFID labeling to tag and track products
  • Temperature and light-reactive indicators
  • Microtext for authentication
  • Tactile and braille elements
  • Security and tamper-proof features

HIPAA Compliant Printing

HIPAA compliance can be complex, but it is essential to keeping important medical information safe. This system establishes important safeguards that protect confidentiality, integrity, and availability of physical and electronic personal health information.

Even though some pharmaceutical labelling does not require HIPAA-compliancy (when protected health information is not included), there are times where you need the extra security that HIPPA protection provides.

At SunDance, we understand that HIPAA compliance is an ongoing practice—subject to advances in technology, changing policies, new procedures and updated HIPAA rules. Our facility is fully set up for HIPAA-compliant printing, and we have a highly experienced HIPAA-trained team ready to handle your most sensitive medical printing needs.

Pharmaceutical Printing Solutions

SunDance will work with you closely through every step of your pharmaceutical print project—from reviewing specs, budget and timelines to creating a customized bottle, container, label or package that suits your needs exactly. And when you partner with the experts at SunDance, you can rest assured that your end-product will always adhere to the latest FDA regulations, and follow all necessary safety procedures through the entire process.

Because the medical and pharmaceutical industry is so important to our business, we continue to be proactive in our training, techniques and equipment. By learning and adopting the latest protocol, systems and regulations, we are better able to provide the highest level of compliance for all of our customers.
