For decades there has only been one general prescription available for the production and supply of printed cartons - find a company with a litho press, a cut and crease machine, strippers with hammers manually removing waste material and of course a gluing machine.Ultimately, if the correct procedures are not followed this can lead to medicine being packed in the wrong box with potentially fatal consequences.

To reduce the risk of mixing there is now a new option available. 

The new source is CARTONMASTER - operating a fully approved PS9000 : 2001 production process. This award winning company produces printed cartons on a unique in-line, one-pass printing and die cutting machine and fully complies with the latest pharmaceutical codes of practice.

BSI Audit report comment - "The 'Cartonmaster Way' when compared to conventional carton manufacturing, clearly is a process which reduces the risk of cross contamination through its continuous nature and resultant decreased requirement for line clearances".
