Cold medicine boxes are cartons made to hold the products people reach for in winter, from syrup bottles and blister packs to powder sachets. The box has to fit the primary container securely and often needs to house a folded leaflet alongside it, so planning the interior around both matters.
Fitting container and leaflet
A bottle needs a snug upright fit so it does not tip inside the carton, while blister packs and sachets sit flatter and can slide. Where a patient information leaflet is included, allow space for it folded down beside or behind the product so the carton still closes cleanly.
Layout and print
These cartons usually carry a good deal of printed information.
- Size the interior to the primary container and leaflet
- Leave clear panels for dosage and product information
- Confirm the closure holds through handling
Ordering and information
Cartons in this category usually carry a good deal of required text, so plan the panels around that from the start rather than fitting it in afterwards. If your range shares a container size, a common carton across products keeps stock simple while the print distinguishes each. Set out your container and any leaflet when you request a quote.
These boxes are made to your custom size. A sample lets you check the container, and any leaflet, fit together before a run.
