Boxes Ditone, designer and manufacturer of innovative labels and part of specialist packaging company The Boxes Group, is set to expand a niche sector of its business after achieving the pharmaceutical industry’s most exacting standards for suppliers.

The Cambridgeshire-based company, which recently invested £2.4m in purpose-built premises, a design studio and new press to help bring a number of new products onto the market, has been awarded the Pharmaceutical Supplier Code of Practice for non contact packaging. This eliminates the possibility of cross contamination of printed materials and ensures good manufacturing practice in a hygienic environment. Boxes Ditone already holds the quality assurance licence ISO 9001.

Boxes Ditone, situated near Huntingdon and one of seven companies in the £35m turnover Boxes Group, now aims to grow its market share of the pharmaceutical labels business while further increasing its expertise in label construction, adhesives and print processes for a broad range of other industries.

The Company offers a range of printing facilities including letterpress, rotary screen, UV and conventional flexographic and hot foil. Boxes Ditone’s new premises also allows for high volume as well as small to medium runs and the production layout enables a fast and efficient service for customers.

Ditone Managing Director, David Stevenson, said: "We are delighted to receive the pharmaceutical industry’s award which provides us with a great opportunity in this business sector. Following the move into our new 23,000 sq ft factory offering the very latest in manufacturing standards and our continuing investment in the latest label technology, we feel confident of continuing to improve our product range and customer service into the future."
