HingePak™

Meeting patient adherence challenges with innovative packaging 

Today thirty percent of all prescriptions are not refilled, creating a challenge for effective drug outcomes. At Catalent we aim to combat the many hurdles faced by consumers by designing innovative, more convenient packaging that allows for easier and more reliable use.

HingePak™, our proprietary blister card packaging, features a pop-out weekly (or monthly) dosage supply combined with an integrated instruction booklet – making it fully child-resistant while remaining adult-friendly.
