Pharmaceutical Printing & Packaging

In pharmaceutical printing, the print is not marketing. It is part of the product’s safety. A wrong dosage on a label, an illegible warning on an insert, a barcode that will not scan at the pharmacy counter; any one of them is not a reprint. It is a recall. Zenger Group handles pharmaceutical printing with these high stakes in mind, where accuracy is not a preference but the whole job.

Where a Mistake Is a Recall

Most print work can tolerate a small error. Pharmaceutical work does not. Zenger Group builds verification into every run rather than bolting it on at the end; checking copy, codes, and color before a job goes to press and again before it ships. Everything runs through our Buffalo, New York facility on equipment we own, so the people accountable for catching a problem are the same people who printed the piece. Forty years of doing exacting work is what earns a client’s trust on the jobs that cannot go wrong.

Serialized, Coded, and Traceable

Pharmaceutical products have to be identified down to the unit. Zenger Group produces serialized variable data, sequential numbering, lot codes, and scannable barcodes as routine parts of the work, each one verified before the shipment leaves the floor. When every unit has to carry its own accurate identity, the margin for a bad record is zero, and that is exactly the kind of run our verification process is built for.

Inserts, Cartons, and Labels

Package inserts and patient leaflets pack a lot of small, legally required type into a piece that has to fold down and fit the carton. Zenger Group prints and finishes mini inserts, custom folding cartons, and labels on stocks chosen for the application, so the piece is legible, durable, and dimensionally correct for the packaging line it feeds. One shop owns the printing and the finishing, so the insert, the label, and the carton all fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle serialized numbering and barcodes?

Yes. Serialized variable data, lot codes, sequential numbering, and scannable barcodes are routine parts of our pharmaceutical printing and packaging, verified before each shipment. These can be applied to labels, inserts, folding cartons and shipping cartons.

Can you produce inserts, cartons, and labels for the same product?

Yes. Printing and finishing run under one roof, so inserts, folding cartons, and labels are produced to spec and line up with each other and the packaging. Zenger Group also has a custom fulfillment team ready to pack your materials.

How do you catch errors before they become a problem?

Verification is built into the run, with copy, codes, and color checked before press and again before shipping, every employee is a quality control engineer.
