Abstract: A method of filling pharmaceutical containers includes: filling a first plurality of containers, the first plurality of containers being supported by a first holder supported on a first step of a first transport and packaging container defining a first step height, the filling includes moving filling needles of a filling device to a filling needle height and dispensing a substance into each of the first plurality of containers; and filling a second plurality of containers, the second plurality of containers being supported by a second holder supported on a second step of a second transport and packaging container defining a second step height equal to the first step height, the filling includes moving the filling needles to the filling needle height and dispensing the substance into each of the second plurality of containers, the second plurality of containers differ from the first plurality of containers in at least one aspect.

Abstract: A package for holding pharmaceutical containers on a filling line includes: a transport and packaging container having a plurality of connected sidewalls, a base, an upper edge opposite the base, and a step defining a step height that is constant relative to the upper edge and less than an overall height defined between the upper edge and the base; and a holder placed in the transport and packaging container and having a plurality of holder openings formed therein. The holder is supported on the step and configured to hold a container in each of the holder openings so the held containers are suspended within the transport and packaging container. The step height is constant and independent of at least one of a shape, a type, or a size of each of the held containers.
