Specifications

Built to your spec.

A medicine box carries more than a brand: the product name and strength, the dosage form, storage conditions and the space for the batch, expiry and barcode that pharmacies and regulators check. Every word has to be exactly as approved. Eastern Dragon prints medicine boxes and pharmaceutical folding cartons in Addis Ababa for manufacturers and importers, from your approved artwork.

Offset printing keeps small text sharp and every run matches the proof you approved. Boxes are cut and creased on the same cutting die order after order, so they fold and fill the same way on your packing line every time.

The Ethiopian Food and Drug Authority (EFDA) requires a GS1 DataMatrix barcode on medicines. Its serial number and expiry date usually go on at your packing line, so the printed box leaves a clean, flat, light area for it; agree that area before the artwork is final. Patient information leaflets can be printed with the boxes.

For a quote, send the box dimensions or a sample, the quantity for each strength, your approved artwork and the board you use today. You can use the form on this page, call, or send it on WhatsApp.

FAQ

Good to know.

Which board is used for medicine boxes?

Most medicine boxes are folding boxboard or duplex board with a white printing surface, stiff enough to protect a blister pack or bottle. Your specification sets the board; we can match the one you use today.

Where does the EFDA barcode go on the box?

On a flat face, away from folds, flaps and die-cuts, with a light background. Because the serial number and expiry change, the code is usually added on your packing line, and the printed box leaves a clear area for it.

Can you print package inserts as well?

Yes. Patient information leaflets and instruction leaflets can be printed with the boxes, folded to fit, from your approved text.
