Pharmaceutical Folding
The pharmaceutical segment of the miniature products industry requires substantial administrative and quality assurance programs that exceed normal commercial graphic arts practices. For example, companies processing pharmaceutical work need folders equipped with automatic blank sheet detectors. Additionally, "locked" work-in-process inventory capabilities for lot mix-up prevention is a prerequisite along with many other infrastructure requirements. Count verification procedures are extremely stringent. Discover just how good Rickard Bindery is at miniature folding. Call us with specifications for your next job.
