A few weeks ago, the first ever Pharmaceutical Packaging Forum took place. It featured speakers from Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Schering-Plough, AstraZeneca, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the Healthcare Users Group. More than 175 people packed The Rittenhouse Hotel in Philadelphia for the March 29 event. The Forum’s exhibiting sponsors included Alcoa, Design Group, Bilcare, Rexroth Bosch Group, Intellitech, Parsec, Pharmintech, Uhlmann, United Silicone, and ZPI. Package design experts Richard Gerstman and Herb Meyers even initiated some spirited debates when they reviewed a variety of over-the-counter pharmaceutical packages.
