Dosepak® packaging helps patients remember to take medication correctly and on time. A folding blister pack (push-through-pack) delivers pills in single, controlled doses. Pill calendars and educational inserts help patients remember to follow the doctor’s orders. And the sturdy, protective, outer carton locks children out yet remains senior-friendly.
Features and Benefits
Blister Card
The folding, paperboard, blister pack boasts pill calendars that align with the medication to help patients remember which pills to take and when (for example, day or night or day of the week or month).
Attached Patient Education and Branding
Superior to pill bottles and standard blister cards, our ConnectedBranding™ features (a large, fold-out panel) guarantee that the dosing instructions, reminders and branding of the outer carton stay with the inner card for the life of the therapy. This boosts patient compliance, builds strong brand identification and patient loyalty and allows for large, readable fonts. We can also include a micro CD for additional patient education materials when needed.
Child Safe and Senior-Friendly
Dosepak® packages have a unique locking mechanism that earned it the highest child resistance rating from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission: F=1. Yet independent testing proved that it remains easy for seniors to open.
Safe and Efficient Format
The efficient, pass-through format eliminates the need for pharmacists to repackage the medication into pharmacy vials — saving time and money while helping prevent dispensing errors. And Dosepak packages stack and store more efficiently than amber vials (standard, orange pill bottles).
Better for the Environment
We use renewable paperboard to produce our Dosepak packages — this versus petro-based plastic vials.
Product Options
Dosepak packaging's flexible platform maintains all of its features in a variety of sizes and formats. We offer Dosepak BP for extensive brand protection against counterfeiting, and Dosepak CT for combination therapies.
