Our process

From client QRD data we apply die-cuts, resize and then insert the correct information required for successful submission.

  • Braille: Implementation of braille, it’s positioning, size and placement of the number indicator, in all EU languages.
  • TE labeling: Current legislation requires the implementation of Tamper Evident Labeling, again have hands on experience on how this works with various package styles and how it impacts the information around it.
  • Unique Identifier: Placement and creation of 2D data matrix code and human readable information (leatus codes, batch/EXP, medis codes) and relevant varnish free areas. We can also provide all formats of barcode.
  • First draft: Copy and technical checks are carried out before pdfs are sent to the client for submission or amendment.

Patient information leaflets:

Based on manufacturing site’s sizing information we prepare the required template. At this point we can test if the proposed text will fit at required minimum 9pts. Supplied word format text is then directly placed into the prepared template and formatted for print and, if required, items such as diagrams or pharma codes are added. A first draft TVT readable pdf is then supplied for checking by client.

Post approval :

After client revisions, variations and finally approval we can then prepare, if required, artwork for print at manufacturing site. We supply original vector artwork (pdf, .ai or eps files), fonts are outlined so the artwork cannot be accidentally changed. We work closely with manufacturing sites and understand their language and varying requirements.
