Design Cognition are pleased to announce the launch of two new websites that will better meet the evolving needs of our pharmaceutical clients and the wider community in the areas of healthcare packaging design, news & compliance.
FIRSTLY, if you are involved in any way with pharmaceutical packaging design, development or managing pack change, our new healthcare-related blog site www.healthcarepackaging-pulse.com will provide you with a daily snapshot of current news & views from the world of pharmaceutical packaging & affiliated areas – from Rx through OTC, Medical Devices and GSL. Learn from the industry ‘best-in class’.
It will cover creative topics such as design, innovation, and technology,through commercial issues such as cost-optimisation and supply chain performance to regulatory and legislative change affecting the industry.

The GLOBAL pharma & consumer landscape is constantly evolving. The packaging requirements of the various regulatory authorities, notified bodies & healthcare professionals have many market-specific local interpretations which will affect pharma packaging design:
- Structurally – in terms of packaging materials, format & style
- Graphically – in terms of design layout, logos, claims, symbols & wording
On top of this – generic legislation affects all markets. For instance – did you know that it will be mandatory to display Braille on all EU pharmaceuticals by Oct 2010?
Design Cognition are an independent packaging product design & development contractor and consultancy. With over 50 years experience working on the Research and Development of products, componentry, devices and packaging in the pharmaceutical, healthcare and medical device sectors.
We have been involved in hundreds of successful launches of international products – both branded and own label/generics. Acting as an outsourced packaging design and development department: advising and project managing all aspects of pack design and development (both graphic and structural), we can navigate you through the ‘maze’:
- Saving you time – get to market quicker
- Cutting your costs – doing it right 1st time
- Developing your knowledge – through expert support
