Many of us recall the Tylenol scare of 1982. What followed were sweeping reforms to over-the-counter pill packaging and blister pack manufacturing.

Below are a only a few items in a laundry list of variables accounted for during the many evolutions of a pill pack’s structural design.

• Child Safety Locks
• Elderly Accessibility
• Quantity and Size of Pills
• Blister Packaging

Prototype Power

With so much at stake, pharmaceutical companies weigh their options before investing in a new production run. Pill-packs undergo intense periods of testing and refining at the hands of highly experienced structural designers. We often role-play as consumers, imagining the countless scenarios and challenges pharmaceutical manufacturers face in the marketplace. As a result, we work extensively with prototypes, creating a wide variety of protective casing and blister packaging before carefully selecting the most comprehensive and effective pharmaceutical package design solution.
