HCL®’s Exclusive Offerings Give Pharmacies More Unit Dose Packaging Power | Health Care Logistics 

Improve confidence in the quality of tablet repackaging and unit dose batching from start to finish.


Company Background

What began in 1978 as a garage-based business at the home of HCL® Owner Gary Sharpe now encompasses five well-equipped facilities in central Ohio and reaches customers around the globe. Employment has grown too, with more than 300 employees now dedicated to the company’s mission of providing unmatched customer service. Sharpe discovered early in his career the need for healthcare products in sizes, quantities, and materials not readily available and was determined to deliver. And has he ever. Today, inventory includes more than 9,000 different products all designed to provide “Special Answers to Special Problems.” Most of these items are maintained locally in more than 320,000 square feet of warehouse space and meet the supply needs of hospitals, pharmacies, chain drug stores, pharmaceuticals, and many other facets of healthcare.


Product Overview

Tablet repackaging and unit dose batching can be complicated and costly. Often, the number of blisters per sheet and labels per sheet don’t match. Or if they do, the labels adhere crooked. Not only do you have to start over, but you must also toss the supplies you already used.

In response to these frustrations, we created the EZ Grid® system to ensure you consistently achieve precise label-to-blister alignment. Sheets for blisters and labels are designed in 5×5 grids so there are no unused pieces and no waste to discard.

Designed around a sturdy aluminum frame with two locator pins, EZ Grid allows you to choose your inserts (pick from round, slot, or square; all are interchangeable), then choose the matching blister and label combination that meets your Class A or Class B package requirements. Blister and label combinations meet USP <671> so you can be confident in the quality of your unit dose package from start to finish.

Further enhance this routine by printing your labels from a desktop printer using our free online service, goHCLabels®. Seamlessly integrate these printed labels with packages prepared using your choice of EZ Grid components. Because goHCLabels is web-based, there is no software to install and no valuable information to risk losing with a computer crash. Ready-made templates save time and improve efficiency.

Recognizing the importance of data security and access control, goHCLabels allows pharmacies to define distinct roles and permissions for staff, which ensures only authorized personnel can access or modify critical label information. This feature enhances accountability and minimizes the risk of unauthorized changes, which gives pharmacies greater control.

Our commitment to excellence led us to develop these solutions, which mark a significant milestone for unit dose management. Experience the power of these services together to elevate your everyday pharmacy performance.
