Pharmaceutical box with integrated bulkheads

Practical solid board solution for arranging, protecting and fixing the content inside the box.

Challenge: Customer wanted to keep the facing (dimensions) of specific product

Pharma customer has a line of Probiotics, available on the market in hard capsules. They launched new formula in liquid form. New formula is available in a small bottle. New contents of the package are small glass bottle with relevant instructions. Optimal size of the secondary cardboard packaging would be much smaller box, but customer want to keep the facing with the line available in hard capsules, because the product is recognizable on the market. Because of that, the first solution is to adjust the current packaging in a way to fix and protect the small bottle into the box with the same dimensions. It is not an optimal solution and we want to make it better in the future – together with our customer.
