Patient Information Inserts — Explore Our Folded Leaflets and More
Printed Patient Package Inserts
Folded packaging inserts and outserts are a popular method of providing crucial information to patients and healthcare professionals in the pharmaceutical industry. CCL Healthcare is a leading resource for packaging and printed materials in pharmaceutical and healthcare products. We have the technology, expertise, and equipment to deliver exceptional quality patient medication information inserts that meet the highest standards for safety, compliance, and brand association.
What Are Patient Information Inserts?
Patient information inserts, also called patient package inserts, are essential documents included with medications. These important documents are designed to provide information for use in an easy-to-understand format, ensuring medication adherence and minimizing the risk of misuse.
Patient package inserts are an effective way to provide patients and healthcare professionals with the information they need to make informed decisions about medication use. They offer a large amount of space for important details, can be customized to fit various packaging sizes and shapes, and can be visually appealing with the use of color and coatings.
Why Are They Important, and How Are They Used?
Providing detailed drug information is critical for ensuring patient safety and proper use of medication. This information can cover everything from identification and cost to pharmacokinetics, dosage, and adverse effects. Patients need to have access to this information in order to better utilize the medication and manage their own health.
These inserts and outserts can be used in a variety of ways, including as inserts, topserts, or sideserts. They can be folded in a variety of ways to accommodate different packaging sizes and shapes, making them a versatile option for pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Patient package inserts are designed to provide a large amount of space for information to be printed. With capabilities of up to 350 printed panels, manufacturers can include all the necessary information for patients or healthcare professionals, including:
- Instructions for use (IFU)
- Side effects
- Contraindications
- Safety information, including treatment in cases of overdosage
- Storage instructions to maintain product integrity
The innovative layout, strategic use of space and small, clear print on folded leaflets also allow for multilingual instructions, extending the product’s reach to a global audience. Color capabilities for our patient information inserts range from one to 10 or more with a coating, which is achieved through multiple passes. This gives manufacturers the flexibility to design and create visually appealing inserts and outserts that are more likely to be read and understood by patients and healthcare professionals.
Types of Patient Information Inserts — Explore Our Products
As leaders in the production of patient medication information inserts, CCL Healthcare has the expertise and capacity to produce printed inserts in a variety of formats. Whether manufacturers require one of our standard formats or a custom, made-to-order patient insert format for a new pharmaceutical product, we deliver solutions that meet precise specifications and all regulatory requirements.
Patient inserts can be produced in a variety of formats. Five popular insert configurations include:
Folded Leaflets
CCL Healthcare offers a wide range of fully customizable folded leaflet inserts, so manufacturers can choose a format, size, and folding pattern that fits their packaging. This versatile and commonly used insert type offers a large space for printed information and is ideal for companies operating in multilingual markets.
Leaflet Outserts
Folded leaflet outserts provide a compact solution to include patient information inserts, without the need for additional packaging. Outserts, which can be presented as topserts or sideserts, are made from large, single sheets printed on high-quality, thin paper to maximize space. After folding, the patient information sheet is glued or attached to the container with a C-clip.
Neck Hangers
For products with irregular or creative packaging, CCL Healthcare produces printed neck hanger patient information leaflets in various formats to fit different container types. Glued pad neck hangers can be sized to fit vials, bottles, packages, or any application where the hanger portion is beneficial. This format makes it possible to include extensive information. Neck hanger designs, fitted around a product container, can include glued pads, folded leaflets, or piggyback-style leaflets.
Booklets
Our medical booklets containing essential patient information can be customized to fit the unique requirements of each manufacturer. The printed booklets are available in a variety of formats, from mini-books that can include up to 254 pages for smaller products to detailed medication guides and combination booklets. The flexibility of design makes booklets a reliable and versatile choice for patient information inserts.
Glued Pads
Our glued pads allow sheets to be removed individually and included in medication packaging. Available in multiple fold options, glued pads contain pertinent patient information, including Directions For Use (DFU). This format provides convenience in pharmaceutical settings when dispensing products.
