Personal Care

With consumers in the personal care industry being particularly welcoming towards innovative packaging concepts, they tend to seek experimentation whilst maintaining social responsibility and deriving value from brands both in-store and online.

Brands and manufactures in this space have pressures to deliver a complexed blend of the physical, emotional, visual, digital, and environmental attributes that intersect with consumers’ ever-changing lifestyles.

Packaging in personal care can be both elaborate, as a result of strong visual branding or desired consumer experiences, and complex due to the delivery system of the product or multiple parts required. We understand that innovation remains an integral part of the beauty consumer experience.
Less Is More.

The introduction of refill pods within this sector is an especially interesting phenomenon and one that we have been supporting with a number of solutions.

Brands more than ever need to embrace next-generation packaging technologies to connect with consumers via multiple supply chains whilst striving for sustainability improvements to satisfy growing demands for responsible packaging.

After all, do refill products really need excess packaging materials like handpumps when the consumer already owns them? Going further, is there a need to persist with heavy, unnecessary overcaps when you can replace them with a lighter, more recyclable alternative?

At FORDS, we can help you to not only consider but also incorporate new environmentally-responsible structures and materials, streamlined product evacuation dispensing systems, accentuated messaging about eco-attributes and increased branding capabilities to demonstrate your values.

Pharmaceuticals

The pharmaceutical industry is undergoing great change and we as manufacturers need to adapt with it by embracing technological advancements and thinking differently.

There is a strong emphasis in general on continuous improvements within the manufacturing process which include significant cost savings, quality assurance, the transition from open transfer manufacturing to single-use disposable products, and the ability to be ever ready to deliver.

This will all naturally introduce more operational complexities, which will include redesigning machinery and manufacturing processes to transition from large batch production to smaller batches of customised, complex personalised products.

At FORDS, we have the know-how and technology to deliver both robust manufacturing processes and facilitate format and branding changes such as personalisation.

Our closures make lighter formats of packaging possible, improve operating efficiencies and guarantee the quality standards that are so crucial within the pharmaceutical industry.
The Gold Standard.

Our solution is among the safest and most cost-effective ways to achieve tamper-resistant pharmaceutical packaging.

FORDS foil caps cannot be removed without leaving evidence (or witness marks) on the container. Nor can the closure be resealed or reconstructed to hide the deformation caused when opening. And because this quality has been used and trusted by consumers all over the globe for generations, it is accepted as the gold standard in tamper evidence.

Furthermore, by utilizing specialist printing and embossing techniques on your foil caps, FORDS can safeguard your brand against counterfeiting. We can deploy your closure as a figurative and literal seal of authenticity by ensuring your packaging cannot be imitated - thereby protecting your brand’s integrity.

The additional benefits of a FORDS closure include seal strength which protects against moisture and germs, and subsequently extends shelf life.
