Pharmaceutical packaging sits at the intersection of precision manufacturing, regulatory compliance, and brand integrity. Every carton, every insert, every kit must be produced correctly with the documentation to prove it. Since 1987, CartonCraft has built our operation around that standard from our headquarters in St. Charles, Illinois.
We offer a turnkey pharmaceutical packaging partnership covering everything from design and prototyping through production, kitting and assembly, label application and serialization, warehousing, and fulfillment. Our formats include folding cartons, corrugate, rigid packaging with unique closures, kitting, label serialization, paper bags, high barrier and foil lamination, mailers with double sided tape applications, child resistant packaging, marketing materials and displays, and anti-counterfeit brand security solutions, all under one ISO 13485 and SQF Level 3 certified roof.
Built on the Industry’s Highest Certifications
CartonCraft holds some of the most rigorous certifications available to a packaging manufacturer, including ISO 13485:2016, SQF Level 3, GMP compliant manufacturing with FDA aligned documentation, ASI Food Safety Certification, and FSC and SFI Chain of Custody certifications. These are not checkboxes. They are the foundation of how we operate every day and the reason pharmaceutical and nutraceutical brands trust us with their most sensitive packaging.

We would love to walk you through what that looks like for your specific packaging.
