Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for forming both backing and support members of a solid pharmaceutical product package as well as the blister portions for the packages. The disclosed solid pharmaceutical product packaging solutions utilize fewer machines and processing steps in order to form an overall solid pharmaceutical product package. In accordance with the preferred exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the manufacturing processing steps associated with the formation of the blister members in the clear plastic sheets is integrated in line with manufacturing of the backing material.

Abstract: In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, automated pharmaceutical product packaging systems and methods ensure that a pharmaceutical product package label accurately reflects the contents of the product package. During the packaging process coding techniques are utilized, wherein prior to or immediately after automatically filling a particular pharmaceutical product package with selected pharmaceuticals as specified in a patient prescription, the packaging systems and methods employ a specific code identifier or designator associated with the package to be filled that is recognized by the system. The system maintains information that correlates the identifying code with the particular prescription that is filled into the package. The pharmaceutical product package is preferably automatically filled with the desired specified pharmaceutical products.
