2005 STARPACK AWARDS - LATE STAGE CUSTOMISATION PACKS

The Hilton, Park Lane, London - was last night's venue for the Institute of Packaging 2005 Starpack Awards.

PAGO Ltd, the label and, labelling systems company received a Gold Star Pack Award - in the Machinery Category.
This award was for the development of specialist Late Stage Customisation machinery for GlaxoSmithKline.

PGM Consulting Ltd extend their congratulations to PAGO Ltd, and GSK, and are delighted to share in the success of this prestigious award:- having been the instigators, innovators, designers and implementers of this exciting Late Stage Customisation (LSC) development.

LSC brings extensive benefits and flexibility to the Pharmaceutical and other industries. By nature, LSC takes a "core pack design" solution, (of which there are a multitude of options) and either:- near end of line/on-line, or post production, applies Market Specific "finishing" (i.e. Local Language content, Regulatory, Patient Information Leaflets, and/or other pack assets/information.)

LSC delivers total pack customisation. All this is achieved in a transparent manner to the patient/consumer - delivering an extremely high quality end product, which fully embraces the market/patient requirements and ensures strict regulatory compliance.
LSC not only permits the direct customisation of products to specific market requirements, it can maximise the whole business and logistics operation. It can significantly contribute to maximising production run advantages, reducing stock requirements, minimising warehousing and delivering the benefits of a flexible delivery supply chain - all-together bringing considerable business advantage and maximising profits.

Behind sound LSC implementations there are a plethora of considerations and
PGM Consulting Ltd - with their extensive Portfolio and Complexity Management skills, allied to their proven success, innovation, management and design capabilities is ideally placed to develop similar LSC solution across both the Pharmaceutical's and FMCG sectors.

We were the people behind LSC at GSK - we are now at the forefront of developing it elsewhere. PGM Consulting Ltd and Pago Ltd working together to innovate and deliver LSC solutions across the world.
