Dutch pharmaceutical contract packaging organisation Tjoapack has introduced a new service called postponement packaging.
The launch follows the company’s recent investment into its late-stage customisation printing capabilities earlier this year.

Postponement packaging adds relevant language leaflets to products to keep them market-agnostic, as well as addresses supply chain challenges such as variable demand and repackaging work.
Tjoapack founder Eric Tjoa said: “Postponement packaging can offer customers more control over their supply chains.
“By giving them the flexibility to adapt to market-related variations and avoid repackaging work, it is possible to lower working capital and reduce finished goods inventories. All of which can ultimately help to offset the rising cost of healthcare.
“Although the concept is not yet widely adopted in the pharmaceutical sector, it has been proven in other industries, such as automotive and cosmetics, and can bring huge benefits to the supply chain.”
