Aisle OVERVIEW

Multi-dose medication packaging is a method of organizing and packaging multiple doses of medications together, typically for a specific time frame or schedule, to simplify administration and improve medication adherence. Each package contains multiple doses, often arranged according to the times and days they are to be taken. Multi-dose medication packaging is especially beneficial for patients managing multiple medications, offering an organized, safe, convenient, and efficient approach to medication administration.

Rx Systems is a family-owned manufacturer of RX LABELS, PILL CARDS, CUSTOM BAGS & RX VIALS, plus the VIVID-1 PILL COUNTER, celebrating 45 years in 2024.

ADHERENCE PACKAGING—Heat Seal & Cold Seal monthly or weekly Multi-Dose pill card packaging is designed for Assisted Living Facilities, Group Homes, and retail customers. Our Tri-Fold pill cards make it easy for the caregiver or patient to quickly identify any missed doses due to our tamper-evident package laid out in a 6” x 9” format. The Tri-Fold opens like a book and allows for ample label space to identify each drug while viewing the label at the same time. Single or Unit Dose options are available.

SEALING EQUIPMENT—Adherence Packaging is available in Cold Seal and Heat Seal. Pharmacies packaging over 300 Multi-Dose cards per month should consider converting to Heat Seal, which significantly decreases your packaging cost and provides an air-tight seal. The ROI on our entry-level AutoOpen Heat Seal press is ~1 year. Higher volume pharmacies will want to consider the AutoSealer. Providing a 3-second seal time, the AutoSealer doesn’t put off any heat, can seal ½” or ¾” depth pill cards without any conversion process, and has a lifespan of 15+ years.

RX LABELS—Rx Systems manufactures thermal and laser Rx labels for over 5,000 label customers from 3 different Plants around the country to help reduce transit time and cost. Custom labels with pre-printed logos are available, and you can order stock labels from our web store.

Since 1979, Rx Systems has been a part of the community of independent pharmacies. Now with locations in five states and over 250,000 sq ft of manufacturing and warehouse space, our company was created with the intent of providing a one-stop shop for pharmacy supplies. An emphasis on customer service while providing quality products at a fair price has created long-term relationships with our customers.

Economical external calibrating scales are also available, and require manual calibration using an appropriate weight.
