Cold Chain Storage
Howell Marketing Services and Howell Packaging both offer validated cold chain storage (2 degrees - 8 degrees C) designed for pharmaceutical drug products, biologics and other temperature-sensitive products. Cold storage consists of two independent refrigeration units, with a total of 59,000 cubic feet of space. Units are continuously mapped, equipped with independent monitoring systems and an emergency backup generator. Howell's FDA registered facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art security systems and camera surveillance. Contact us for your next cold chain storage project.
Serialization
Howell Packaging has been providing our customers with unit-level prescription drug product traceability with complete transaction history since August of 2018.
Now that all phases of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) are being enforced, it is more important than ever to maintain compliance. Allow Howell Packaging's fully validated serialization line to be your solution.
Howell can work with you to create the serial numbers and adhere to the standard. We print each unique serial number onto the prescription drug package; the system verifies that the number is correct, and then aggregates to the corrugated shipper and to the pallet.
The final step in the process is the aggregated information is transmitted back to the manufacturer when the product is shipped.
