18.07.2022 – safe packaging system

Typopharma has developed a manual packaging system together with a customer.
Laetus and similar packaging codes ensure the correct assignment to the product packaging in the case of machine packaging.
With this manual packaging, the assignment can be ensured visually by means of a flat stamp system. 
Simple and effective: Each country-specific package information for the correct outer packaging. Anonymised example
Another advantage of the package information: The exact use quantity required can be printed on laser printers. 
This saves resources and speeds up the packaging process

01.06.2022 –  Adobe Indesign + Illustrator … the best of both worlds

Typopharma combines the proven publishing programs ideally: Packaging is produced in Illustrator with very clear layering. This structure can be further processed by any Artworker without any problems. 
The Illustrator content is loaded into Indesign. An info panel is automatically added; print parameters (crop box, bleed specifications) are added during PDF generation.
A sophisticated script checks the printing technique. The result is a print-safe PDF-X4 with valuable additional information for the printing shop.

02.12.2021 – Finished artwork with just a few clicks

Our own latest developments allow us to automatically transfer packaging texts from Word documents. The data is formatted as desired “on the fly”. All design specifications, special characters and text mark-ups are taken into account. Reliable KPI‘s as well as the positive “feed back” from our customers prove the successful use of the software in practice, especially for text-intensive instructions for use: Example PDF

14.11.2021 – Planning reliability through samples

Before any series production, a packaging material must be checked for “technical feasibility” and “presentation”. A machine “proof” is cost-intensive, requires time and finished print documents. In order to significantly reduce time and costs, we offer you the cost-effective production of samples. Produced in real paper thickness including all individual elements such as grooved flaps, perforations … here examples: flat folding box and with tear-off flap.
Of course, 3D images are also available. E.g. for mock-ups for pharmaceutical registration or for design finding.
Interest aroused? We would be happy to provide you with samples on request at produktion@typopharma.com !

Our quality management system fully complies with the requirements of the standard DIN ISO EN 9001: 2015. There were no deviations at any point.
We are particularly proud of 3 specific strengths:
“For each process, all standard requirements were applied (input, results, criteria, indicators, resources, interactions, powers, risks). (4.4)”

“Effective customer communication ensures that all relevant product and service requirements are determined, verified and confirmed. (8.2)”
“Any deviations, including complaints, are effectively recorded and processed by the organization. Corrective action will be effectively implemented, causes identified and risk assessment updated as necessary. (10.2)”

01.07.2018 – automated translation workflow

Typopharma has successfully implemented several Translation Memory  projects.
The aim was to standardize German user information and determine the space requirements for a further 4 languages: EN, FR, ES, IT.
The translators used IDML texts in their TM system.
Translated passages were already displayed, only non-translated parts had to be actively edited.
Typopharma got back the IDML structure and was able to incorporate it into the layout.
After the finishing touch, print and Internet PDFs could be created quickly and safely. The production time for this complex workflow is shortened considerably for the customer.
We can also provide valuable input for your tasks as a project partner.

04.2018 – Artwork Next Generation – web based editing

Typopharma GmbH is one of the few artwork service providers to offer you a web-based portal for the “independent” editing of packaging.
On the packaging existing elements such. Texts, graphics, logos, etc. can be edited or placed in real-time and in WYSIWIG.
Multiple placements of identical texts, automatic fitting in text rooms, Braille placement and all common barcode types are available.
This technological approach leads to completely new strategic approaches in live cycle management. 
Take the next step with us as a pre-press service provider. Presentation: Typopharma_ANG.

03.2018 – packager support – security in difficult phases

Typopharma produces technical drawings for renowned packager. Instead of several separate drawing we produced concise templates. This data can be used directly for artwork productions. Technical questions are answered: text area, braille, code positions – especially serialization codes
(drug counterfeiting). This greatly relieves following departments in time pressure production.

02.2017 – Getting it right the first time with technical drawings

Packaging materials are often designed without reference to the technical details, leading to misunderstandings, extra revision cycles, time wasted, coordination over a longer time period, as well as additional costs. A notable contract packager from North-Rhine Westphalia and Typopharma GmbH have launched a project titled “Technical Samples”.”At the start of the project” all the various aspects of printing and the technical details in the packaging process were defined and taken into account in the samples. This way, all the technical aspects are incorporated into the design process – from the punching line to the code placement – thereby avoiding undesired conflict down the line. This saves valuable time, especially when working with a large text volume, or with new requests such as tamper-evident packaging.Technical, regulatory or administrative departments receive a precise tool at an early stage. Based on exact file layouts, art workers can then insert the content quickly and easily.

10.2016 – E-bike design project

Ebike; Design; Artwork; Zebra; Folie;

Have you already ridden an e-bike? Are you considering buying an e-bike?

We have set the company e-bike project in motion – with magnificent results!

The project team revamped the rather dull e-bike with a unique design, turning the bike into a visual masterpiece. A zebra print design was made for each individual piece and printed onto adhesive film. It makes riding a bike twice as much fun, right?

Pay us a visit and try it out yourself – prepare to be amazed!

08.2016 – Electronic testing software = 100% reliability

10.2015 – USE_ability – user-friendly information

1m² package inserts are now making their way into the folding box. Extensive regulations or the Readability Guidelines are not always responsible for package inserts of these dimensions – the paper monster is often born of the combination of multiple languages, or the physical separation of different levels of information.Studies have long shown that the package insert often goes unread or is only read in part, and is not even retained to be read at a later date.Information is also more likely to be accepted and absorbed if the amount is kept realistic and manageable. With 3in1 outserts, 1 product is printed, separated and sealed = no chance of it getting mixed upThe user can keep hold of exactly what they want: 3in1 outsert videoTypopharma would be delighted to take on the entire data management and is ideally suited to offer you great advice: 2 / 4 in1 outsert or banding after all?

09.2015 – Successfully passed recertification audit

We are proud to have demonstrated once again that our quality management system fully complies with the requirements of the ISO 9001  standard.
For you as our customer that means: Our quality standard complies with the most stringent requirements and is subject to continuous improvement.
