Brand Identity and Regulatory Packaging Artwork

Healthcare Branding & Packaging Design

Pubrica provides healthcare brand identity and pharmaceutical packaging design for pharma brand and packaging teams, regulatory affairs teams, medical device and generics manufacturers and marketing teams. Our medical illustrators, 3D animators and UX/UI designers deliver brand identity systems, print-ready carton, label and insert artwork per SKU and market, regulatory content checklists for FDA and EMA markets, structural packaging specifications and version-controlled master artwork. The work follows FDA 21 CFR labeling and SPL, DSCSA, the EU FMD and the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. A named subject specialist manages your project from brief to delivery, and a second, independent reviewer checks the work before it reaches you.

Compliance and Standards

Five Standards and Guidelines Applied to Healthcare Branding and Packaging Design

Each deliverable is checked against the standards and guidelines named below.

SPL

FDA 21 CFR labeling / Structured Product Labeling (SPL)

Governs required content, format, and the XML SPL submission format for US prescription and OTC drug labeling.

DSCSA

Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA)

Requires product serialization and traceability features to be built into US pharmaceutical packaging design.

FMD

EU Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) / EMA labeling rules

Requires serialization, multi-language content, and mandatory Braille for medicine name and strength on packaging sold in the EU.

PPPA

Poison Prevention Packaging Act

Mandates child-resistant packaging structures for applicable pharmaceutical products in the US.

ISO9001:2015

Quality management (cert. H3CR9TCU20251212INDQM10N)

Our quality management system covers how each project is run, reviewed and documented.

Responsible Use of AI

Our Approach to AI Use in Healthcare Branding and Packaging Design

We use generative tools for drafting and design iteration only. We do not use them for any output that could be mistaken for verified clinical data or a real patient.

What we use it forLayout variations, colour systems, and first-pass drafts that a human then corrects against the brief and the brand or clinical standards that apply.
What we do not use it forGenerating any image, figure or quote presented as real clinical data, a real patient, or a verified result; and nothing goes out without a named reviewer's sign-off.
What goes in your declarationYour declaration states the tool, the stage at which it was used and the human oversight applied, because MLR/PRC reviewers, funders and regulators increasingly expect this to be stated.

Why We Do Not Publish AI Accuracy Figures

Accuracy figures for AI design and content tools are usually reported by the vendors that sell them.

For this reason, we do not quote an accuracy figure of our own. We tell you which tool was used on your project, at which stage, and what a named reviewer changed afterwards.

Our Process

How Our Healthcare Branding and Packaging Process Works

You review a first draft before production is completed, so any misunderstanding of the brief is corrected at an early stage.

Step one

Submit Your Brief and Reference Material

Tell us which products, pack formats and markets are in scope and any labeling requirements, and send existing artwork, brand guidelines and approved label text we should work from.

Step two

Scoping Consultation

We confirm the audience, the applicable standards and, for scoped work, the factors that determine the final price, so the quote is clear before work begins.

Step three

Concept and First Draft

A subject specialist and the production team prepare the first version against the brief, and it is reviewed internally for accuracy before it reaches you.

Step four

Revisions and Final Delivery

We incorporate your revisions and deliver the files listed on this page, including the working files, so the material can be updated later without starting again.

Pubrica provides healthcare brand identity and pharmaceutical packaging design for pharma brand and packaging teams, regulatory affairs teams, medical device and generics manufacturers and marketing teams. Our medical illustrators, 3D animators and UX/UI designers deliver brand identity systems, print-ready carton, label and insert artwork per SKU and market, regulatory content checklists for FDA and EMA markets, structural packaging specifications and version-controlled master artwork. The work follows FDA 21 CFR labeling and SPL, DSCSA, the EU FMD and the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. A named subject specialist manages your project from brief to delivery, and a second, independent reviewer checks the work before it reaches you.

Healthcare branding and packaging design covers brand identity and print-ready, regulation-compliant packaging artwork for pharmaceutical and medical device products. The full list of deliverables appears on this page under Deliverables.

For US pharmaceutical products, FDA requires labeling to be submitted in Structured Product Labeling (SPL) XML format and packages to carry serialized product identifiers under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), in addition to 21 CFR content and format rules.

This is documented in published research and regulatory guidance, so our specialists treat it as a defined project requirement.

The cost depends on the following factors: the number of SKUs and pack formats (carton, label, insert, blister) requiring design; the number of regulatory markets and languages (e.g., FDA/US vs. EMA multi-country vs. both); structural safety requirements (child-resistant, tamper-evident features); and serialization and traceability integration (DSCSA, FMD) into artwork.

A single flat price would overcharge simple projects and underprice complex ones. A short scoping call establishes the price before you commit to anything.
