Pharmaceutical packaging and labeling are becoming of increasing importance to manufacturers in North America. Indeed, according to a recent study, US demand for drug packaging will grow seven percent yearly through to 2010 and managing packaging and labeling strategies is becoming a growing challenge across the whole industry.

Not only that, with security a paramount issue and fraudsters finding new ways to counterfeit drugs, packaging and labeling play a significant role in reducing the ease in which this can be done. Pharma and biotech manufacturers are complying with the new ePedigree regulations, implementing RFID, track and trace systems, and product serialization to combat this.

From innovation in packaging materials, new technology, and anti-counterfeiting methods to compliant packaging and senior friendly/child resistant designs, this event will cover the critical issues facing the industry today.
