At Colorman, we support pharmaceutical, healthcare and other quality-focused brands with packaging that protects products, supports patient safety and presents your brand with confidence. From specialist cartons to complex leaflets and booklets, each component is designed for regulatory compliance, print clarity and efficient packing.
Cartons
Our carton range is engineered for high-speed packing lines, stringent regulatory environments and demanding retail conditions. Whether you need clinical trial volumes or large-scale commercial runs, we combine precise die-cutting, robust construction and consistent colour accuracy.
- Pharmaceutical / Healthcare Cartons – designed specifically for regulated markets, with options for tamper-evident features and security elements.
- All ECMA design cartons – produced to recognised ECMA standards to ensure compatibility with automated filling and packing equipment. This consistency helps reduce downtime, minimise line adjustments and support global supply chains.
- Sleeve Cartons / Slipcases – outer sleeves that slide over inner boxes to add a premium, protective layer around your product.
- Auto-Lock Bottom Cartons – pre-glued, easy-to-assemble formats with strong, auto-locking bases, ideal for heavier or more fragile products. They are designed to run efficiently on packing lines while maintaining structural integrity throughout transport and distribution.
- Tuck-End Cartons – versatile cartons with tuck flaps on one or both ends for straightforward opening and closing. They are widely used in pharmaceutical and healthcare applications due to their simplicity, reliability and compatibility with carton machinery.
- Eco-Friendly / Recyclable Cartons – produced using responsibly sourced materials and recyclable boards for brands prioritising sustainability. These cartons help reduce environmental impact while maintaining the strength, print quality and compliance your products require.
- Windowed Cartons – cartons featuring die-cut windows that allow the product to be seen without compromising protection.
- Clamshell / Hinged Cartons – foldable cartons with an integrated hinge for secure, reusable packaging solutions.
- Multi-Unit / Bundling Cartons – designed to hold multiple products or packs within a single outer carton. They support hospital, pharmacy and retail multipacks, helping you optimise logistics, manage dosage packs and deliver promotional or kit-based presentations.
Leaflets
In regulated sectors, leaflets carry critical information that must remain clear, accurate and legible throughout the product’s lifecycle. We produce a wide range of leaflet formats to accommodate multi-language content, complex instructions and strict space constraints inside cartons.
- Flat leaflets – simple, single-sheet formats ideal for concise information, regulatory statements or QR codes directing patients to digital resources. They are easy to insert, remove and store with the product.
- Cross-fold leaflets – folded in multiple directions to create compact inserts that hold large amounts of text and diagrams. These are particularly suited to multi-language pharmaceutical information where space inside the carton is limited.
- Endorse fold leaflets – folded so that the leaflet remains compact while key information or titles stay visible on the outside. This format supports quick identification by pharmacists, clinicians and patients.
- Parallel fold leaflets – multiple parallel folds that create an organised, easy-to-navigate layout.
- Accordion fold leaflets – zig-zag folded inserts that open out fully for a clear, continuous reading experience. They work well for step-by-step instructions, illustrations and content that benefits from a flat, extended layout.
- Gate fold leaflets – leaflets that open from the centre like a gate, drawing attention to key information or imagery inside.
Booklets
For more detailed instructions, complex medical devices or multi-step treatment protocols, booklets provide the space and structure to communicate clearly. Our booklet solutions are designed for durability, legibility and compliance in demanding healthcare environments.
- IFUs (Instructions for Use) and DFUs (Directions for Use) – comprehensive, carefully structured booklets that guide correct product use and support patient safety. They can include multi-language content, diagrams and regulatory symbols to meet global market requirements.
- Manuals – detailed user manuals for medical devices and healthcare equipment, produced with high legibility, robust binding and consistent print quality. These manuals are designed to withstand frequent handling in clinical and homecare settings.
- Folded booklets – compact booklets created from folded sheets, offering more space than a leaflet while still fitting efficiently into cartons or device packs.
- Stitched booklets – saddle-stitched booklets that provide a durable, professional finish for IFUs, patient information and training materials. This binding method supports easy page turning and reliable performance over repeated use.
- Perfect bound booklets – high-capacity booklets with a square spine, ideal for extensive documentation, multi-product guides or comprehensive technical manuals.
