Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Pack Printers manufactures pharmaceutical-grade 3ml vial packaging that aligns with GMP packaging guidelines and supports FDA and EU regulatory labeling compliance. Our SBS and coated board materials are sourced from certified suppliers safe for pharmaceutical packaging applications. All required regulatory text elements including product name, active ingredients, batch number, expiry date, and health warnings can be accommodated across the exterior print surface. We recommend consulting your regulatory team to confirm specific requirements for your product category before finalizing specifications.
For 3ml glass vials the most fragile format in this size category we strongly recommend die-cut EVA or polyurethane foam inserts as the primary protection solution. The small diameter of 3ml vials (13mm to 16mm) makes them particularly vulnerable to lateral movement inside a box without a precision-fit insert. Our foam inserts are engineered to the exact external diameter and height of your specific vial and cap combination, providing full-circumference contact that completely eliminates movement and absorbs impact. For luxury fragrance and cosmetic applications, foam inserts can be paired with a velvet or satin surface lining for a premium interior finish.
Yes, and sampler set packaging is one of our most popular 3ml vial configurations. We produce duo, trio, 6-vial, and larger set boxes with precision-cut inserts that hold each vial individually and securely. These are widely used by fragrance brands for perfume sample collections, skincare brands for serum discovery sets, and essential oil brands for therapeutic blend samplers. The outer box is fully customizable to any finish level from a clean kraft carton with a single-color logo to a premium rigid box with gold foil stamping and velvet lining.
