Innovative Contraceptive Packaging

摘要

The Triquilar wallet by August Faller was one of the most patient-friendly, new packages to be developed last year. At the annual conference of the European Healthcare Compliance Packaging Council (HCPC) in Vienna, this producer of pharmaceutical packaging was among the finalists for the HCPC Packaging Awards with its three-part wallet with calendar labels. Faller developed it for a contraceptive that is sold by Bayer Schering Pharma in Berlin and produced by Schering and Produktions in Weimar, Germany.rnThe jury praised the packages concept, which combines compliance with convenience to support proper use of the contraceptive. The reclosable wallet is flat and handy, making it easy to carry anywhere.rnIt has the form of a miniature folder, consisting of three sections: a blister card holding the pills, patient information, and dry-peel calendar stickers. These are pre printed and can be flexibly applied to the blister card to help the user remember when to take the pills. The labels are easy to remove, and the resulting free space can be used for personal notes.
