- Outstanding usability (easy to open/close)
- Significant savings on shipping costs, working capital and warehousing
- Environment friendly (less paper and more efficient logistics)
The current situation
Leaflets are an essential part of pharmaceutical packaging:
- Descriptions of how to take the medication
- Possible contraindications, side effects or even mandatory legal information
The leaflet paper is thick (50 – 60g/m², caliper 65 – 80µm), wood containing grade and usually folded several times. This kind of format has been the standard for the last 100 years!
However, there are several issues related to the standard leaflet:
- When the leaflet is open, the size is very large, the font size is small, and the information is difficult to find.
- It is very unhandy to use and very difficult to get back in the same format, not match with the package.
- Limited number of language versions on the same leaflet.
- Every leaflet version: own stock item number, own packaging process, own space in the warehouse: Extra logistics, working capital and warehouse costs.
Unique product leaflet solution – The thin paper Booklet
The thin paper is totally different from standard leaflet paper:
- It is really thin (29 – 36g/m², calipers 33 – 34µm, woodfree and usually used in Bibles and law books) and there is no any need for folding.
- The unique thin paper leaflets (coated, high opacity) are provided in a handy booklet format.
Unique product leaflet solution (the thin paper Booklet) can be tailored to customer needs (size suitable for the current package, content as needed):
- For the same paper volume, as with the standard leaflet, it can include 3 times more information!
- Usability of our unique solution is outstanding (easy to open/close and to find correct information e.g. table of contents with page numbers, bigger font size) compared to the standard leaflet solution
When several languages are included in the same unique product leaflet the logistics and warehouse costs will decrease (stock item numbers and the need of warehouse space will decrease, the packaging processes will simplify)
Unique product leaflet solution is environment friendly (less paper and more efficient logistics):
- Manufacturing process does not require energy consuming mechanical grinding.
- Chemical pulp process is a source of energy instead.
- The package is lighter and smaller in size.
- Higher quantity in one truckload or container, and less CO2 emissions by transportations.
