Content to Carton - Overview
In Life Sciences, communication refers to the safety information conveyed and the visual appeal of products inclusive of:
- The label content should be compliant with the artwork guidelines for packaging set by different health authorities
- The content creation for the artwork should be appealing and aligned with the global market sensibilities
- The artwork prints should be on par with the global standards
- The packed carton should stand out and possess all the safety standards
- The expertise of resources for each of the areas related to artwork lifecycle management
With the rise in demand for globalization and market expansions, pharmaceutical manufacturers, of late, are forced to carry out all these activities at various locations, if not being assisted by globally distributed partners/vendors. Hence, the challenge persists in gaining comprehensive visibility into end-to-end processes, which may lead to operational delays and affect the product’s time to market.

The concept of Content to Carton is about the seamless integration of all the Regulatory departments and artwork and pack management systems, starting from dossier creation to SmPC document to content creation for artwork for submission and commercialization, until it reaches the artwork print vendor, with the objective of right content going out to Regulatory bodies and to consumers buying the product.
