Assembly & Packaging
- Manual and automated assembly lines for any batch size
- GMP-certified facility with FMD-compliant serialization on every line
- One team of 40 specialists managing your project from design to delivery
Your product is complex. Your assembly and packaging partner should handle that complexity for you.
Pharmaceutical assembly and packaging involves more than putting products in boxes. It requires precise coordination of components, strict GMP compliance, serialization for regulatory traceability, and the flexibility to handle both small kitting runs and large commercial volumes. When you manage this across multiple suppliers, the risk of errors, delays, and miscommunication grows with every handoff.
Ecobliss has provided pharmaceutical assembly and packaging services since 1996, building a team of 40 specialists who manage the entire process under one roof. From packaging design and component manufacturing through manual or automated assembly, serialization, and GDP-compliant warehousing. Every project receives a unique packaging design; we have never replicated a solution. Whether your product is a single-component blister pack or a complex multi-component kit, our facility in Echt, the Netherlands handles it with the same attention to detail and GMP rigour.
Manual precision and automated efficiency, in the same facility.
Not every product fits an automated line. Complex multi-component kits, clinical trial supplies, and specialty medications with small batch sizes often require manual assembly by trained operators working under GMP conditions. At the same time, established products with consistent volumes benefit from the speed and reproducibility of automated packaging lines. Ecobliss offers both, in the same GMP-certified facility, managed by the same team.
FMD-compliant serialization and aggregation are integrated into every packaging line, ensuring full traceability regardless of whether the assembly is manual or automated. For products requiring child-resistant packaging, our patented Locked4Kids platform provides certified solutions for both EU and US markets. Our cold seal technology offers an additional advantage for temperature-sensitive products: pressure-only sealing that avoids heat exposure, with water-based, solvent-free adhesive that is fully recyclable with the cardboard component.
Speak with our assembly and packaging teamOne partner for the entire process, not five suppliers to coordinate.
The biggest risk in outsourced assembly and packaging is fragmentation. When design, component sourcing, assembly, serialization, and warehousing are split across different partners, every interface becomes a potential failure point. Ecobliss eliminates this by managing everything in-house. Our design team develops the packaging concept. Our production team manufactures components and assembles the final product. Our warehouse stores and ships the finished goods under GDP conditions. One team, one facility, one point of contact. Changes are coordinated in hours, not weeks. This is how we have worked for over 30 years, and it is why clients like Organon, Lundbeck, Sanofi, and Novartis trust us with their products.
From first assembly run to long-term supply, with the same team.
Many of our assembly and packaging clients start with a single product and grow with us over years. The production setup, quality documentation, and team knowledge built during your first project carry forward to every subsequent one. For pharmaceutical companies managing multiple products across different markets, this continuity reduces complexity and risk. For products moving from clinical development into commercial launch, the same facility and team handle both phases. No technology transfer, no new vendor qualification. You focus on developing and marketing your products. We handle the assembly and packaging they require.
What to expect from your assembly and packaging project
Project scoping and packaging design
We review your product, its components, regulatory requirements, and volume expectations. Within one week you receive a project proposal covering assembly approach (manual, semi-automated, or fully automated), packaging format, serialization strategy, and timeline. Our design team develops a unique packaging concept tailored to your specific product.
Prototyping and line setup
You receive physical prototypes to evaluate before production. We configure the appropriate assembly line, validate processes under GMP conditions, and run trial batches for your review and approval. Typical design and prototyping turnaround: 5 to 10 working days.
GMP assembly and serialized production
Full-scale assembly and packaging in our GMP-certified facility. Every batch runs with documented records, in-process controls, and quality inspection. FMD-compliant serialization and aggregation are standard on every line. Our equipment handles everything from small specialty batches on manual stations to large commercial volumes on automated lines.
GDP-compliant storage and distribution
Finished products are stored in our GDP-compliant warehouse, including controlled substance security where applicable. We coordinate distribution to your markets and manage ongoing supply against call-off schedules. Your dedicated contact oversees every production run and shipment.
Tell us about your product. We will design the assembly and packaging process around it.
Share your product specifications, component list, and volume requirements. Our team will propose an assembly and packaging solution with a clear process, timeline, and budget indication within one week.
Questions about pharmaceutical assembly and packaging
What types of assembly can Ecobliss handle?
We handle manual assembly for complex multi-component kits and small batches, semi-automated assembly for mid-volume products, and fully automated packaging for high-volume commercial supply. All assembly takes place in our GMP-certified facility under documented quality controls.
What dosage forms and products can you package?
We package all primary packed dosage forms: oral solids, vials, syringes, suppositories, and medical devices. Our capabilities include blister packaging with cold seal and heat seal technology, cartoning, kitting, labelling, and multi-component assembly.
How do you handle serialization?
FMD-compliant serialization and aggregation are integrated into every packaging line. We apply unique identifiers per EU Falsified Medicines Directive requirements and provide complete track-and-trace data in your required format.
What is the minimum batch size?
We have no fixed minimum. Manual assembly stations handle very small specialty batches, while automated lines manage large commercial volumes. This flexibility makes us suitable for orphan drugs, clinical supplies, and high-volume products alike.
How do you prevent mix-ups during assembly?
GMP-documented procedures govern every changeover. Line clearance, component verification, in-process controls, and batch documentation ensure that each product is assembled correctly. Our team of 40 specialists is trained specifically for pharmaceutical assembly, and our facility is designed to prevent cross-contamination.
Can you handle controlled substances?
Yes. We hold licenses for Schedule I and II controlled substances. Our GDP-compliant warehouse includes dedicated secure storage, and our processes include full chain-of-custody documentation.
Do you offer packaging design as well as assembly?
Yes. Our in-house design team develops unique packaging concepts for every project, from structural design and artwork through prototyping. We never replicate a design. This means you get a packaging solution that is optimised for your specific product, not adapted from someone else's.
