Though every packaging company should adopt the habit of documentation,
but with pharma packaging companies this habit should be mandatory. There are
number of reasons to support this statement. Pharmaceuticals are severely
crucial product, hence anyone lying anywhere in the loop of manufacturing till
supplying of medicines has extremely vital role.
When packaging pharmaceuticals, there are several issues
that have to be taken care of. For instance, information to be printed on the
pack, shape, design, size, leaf lets, material types, and so on, which can be
well maintained if listed in documents. Each type of medicine has its own
requirements for information printing & packaging. Keeping a record of what
client ask for can help printer know what things to be accomplish, what has
been done so far and what is left.
When discussing with client next time, you can take those
documents and refer them to inform them about latest developments. This also
helps in managing time. Each requirement can be assigned specific time period
by which the work has to be accomplished. This is a good way of fragmenting and
distributing given time among each job and to accomplish the entire work within
stipulated time period.
You can make it more effective if you write the requirements
of clients in front of them and get it confirmed at the initial level of
conversation. This will help you build trust and show your professionalism to
the clients. If you have yet not started it, start doing it from today and make
it your regular practice.
