“A good variety of different speakers” – Cathy Brown, Packaging and Compliance Manager, NAPP Pharmaceuticals, Delegate SMi’s 2008 Packaging and Labelling conference
The packaging and labelling of a pharmaceutical product is a vital part of the whole commodity. Appropriate labelling and packaging isn’t just a requirement to meet regulatory standards, but can have a real impact on patient care, product value, and lifecycle management. Packaging and repackaging is also a contentious political issue, with moves towards restrictions on repackaging having been considered recently by the EU, and counterfeiting and traceability a key issue in US politics.
Following on from the success of last year’s conference, the SMi Group’s Packaging and Labelling Innovations conference promises to provide the perfect platform to come to terms with the latest developments in this exciting area.
Why should you attend this event?
This event will give you the opportunity to learn about: - The European Commission proposed restrictions on repackaging – what does this mean for parallel traders, and is it about protecting patient or protecting profits? Hear perspectives from a parallel trader, the EC, and others.
- Experiences from other industries – other manufacturers experience challenges similar to the Pharma companies; what are their solutions? Hear from speakers from the Nutraceuticals industry on meeting new regulations, and the FMCG industry on innovative designs.
- Enhancing patient usability with innovative packaging – discover the challenges of making packaging suitable for the blind, and balancing the needs of child proofing and elderly accessibility.
- Track and trace – the results of the BRIDGE Pharma traceability pilot, the impact of the US elections on global standards, the choice between barcoding and RFID, and avoiding the damaging impacts of counterfeiting
