Platinum Press becomes certified Walgreens supplier

Platinum Press is a provider of healthcare packaging for the pharmaceutical, medical device and animal care sectors, and specializes in the production of labels, folding cartons, blister packaging, inserts/outserts and medication guides.

To earn the quality assurance seal, Platinum Press underwent a stringent program administered by Graphic Measures International, an organization that monitors and validates suppliers’ required process controls and ability to deliver consistent results for its vendors.

This certification enables Platinum Press to gain full approval as a print packaging supplier for Walgreen Co., which operates approximately 8,200 pharmacies across the US.

Andrew Vale, senior vice-president of corporate strategy and development at Platinum Press, said: ‘We are honored to be chosen by Walgreens to supply pharmaceutical packaging components for its pharmacies nationwide.

‘The partnership ranks among Platinum Press’ largest to date, and will further strengthen our reputation as a premier provider of packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical industry.’

In addition, Platinum Press is expanding with a new manufacturing facility in Pine Brook, New Jersey, which will provide duplicative services and products to supplement the company’s Grand Prairie, Texas headquarters and serve to reduce shipping costs and weather issues for its Northeastern customers.
