[May 15, 2012] Kallik: Managing complexity of languages is top of agenda in pharma packaging Tweet May 15, 2012 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Research conducted at the 2nd Annual Pharma Packaging and Labelling Compliance Conference in Rome showed that one of the major packaging issues faced by pharmaceutical companies is complying with different regulations for different countries. This is compounded by the need to use text in different languages, which 56% of respondents felt was the most critical element in the packaging and labelling process. The research, completed by Kallik, Global Vision and AMD Electronic, also highlighted issues faced in the artwork management process, for example: 'too many approval cycles before final sign-off' - 41% of respondents cited this as an issue, whilst 38% said that tracking and controlling different versions of approved or rejected artwork was their major issue. The feedback regarding artwork management solutions was very positive, with almost 70% of respondents stating that an automated artwork management system would provide a fast and easy way to manage change requests from different markets. Neil Gleghorn, CEO of Kallik, a specialist supplier of fully automated artwork management solutions said: "The management of labelling and packaging in multi languages is inherently complex, but the introduction of a fully automated artwork management solution enables effective organisation of phrases and translations to dramatically improve efficiency and aid compliance. This drive to increase automation is clear as there is a need for greater agility when making changes to artwork to meet different regulatory requirements."
