Shellpak® Unit-Dose Medication Packaging

Features and Benefits

Shellpak® compliance packages help administer pills to patients safely, accurately and in single, controlled dosages (unit-doses).

Rugged Materials
We make the shells using injection-molded, FDA-grade, high-impact polystyrene by AGI Polymatrix.

Manufactures Easily
Our patented design comes in a standard configuration that runs easily on most existing line equipment, so manufacturers can maintain efficient, speedy and economical processing on production lines.

Pharmacy Friendly and Efficient
Pre-filled medication packages help expedite pharmacist handling, reduce errors and save operational costs. And Shellpak packages stack and store more efficiently than amber vials (standard orange pill bottles).

Child Safe and Senior Friendly
The rigid, plastic shells and proprietary, push-button technology earned our Shellpak packages the highest child resistance rating from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission: F=1. Yet it remains easy for seniors to open.  

Product Options

Shellpak is customizable. We offer three standard sizes and a wide variety of shapes and colors. And optional, easy-to-customize, extended content labels provide even more room for bold graphics as well as product and health literacy information.
