Packaging

Designers should bear shelf space in mind

From Mr M. C. Shah, MRPharmS

Some pharmaceutical companies have changed their packaging by making it bigger or wider. Do these companies think we have acres of space in our dispensaries to accommodate these pack changes, especially with the increase in generic products as a result of patent losses?

Let us hope the package designers will keep our shelf space in mind before they change the packaging in future.
