The pharmaceutical packaging market is constantly faced with new challenges and fierce competition.

The packaging specification market is expected to grow to around $1 trillion by 2020, according to the research firm, Smithers Pira, making up around 200-plus million packaging SKUs around the world. 

As mid-2016 passes by, the pharmaceutical packaging world is surrounded by serialization and DSCSA (Drug Supply Chain Security Act) activity.

Squid Ink Manufacturing Inc., a leading manufacturer of coding and marking systems and quality inks for product identification and traceability, celebrates its 25th year in business. 

Adents, a leading provider of versatile and easily deployable serialization and track-and-trace software solutions, has hired Chuck Sailer as a serialization solutions expert.  

Sharp Packaging Solutions has increased its packaging capacity by 30% for its life science customers with a $45 million investment in a new Center of Excellence for specialty/biologic/cold chain packaging and in the addition of four new bottling lines within its adjacent 270,000-square-foot contract packaging facilities.  

The medical and pharmaceutical packaging industries today face challenges and opportunities in light of recent growth, legislation changes and patient usage issues.
