In the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device industries, packaging is never just packaging. It’s a safeguard for regulatory compliance and a critical link in the supply chain. Secondary packaging, including labels, inserts, and cartons, must be accurate, legible, and auditable every time.
RLG Healthcare was built around these needs. As a compliant, responsive, and full-service partner, we help medical-related brands launch products quickly and confidently, while consistently supporting broader goals such as sustainability and supply chain resilience.

Our specialized services are designed to keep up with accelerated schedules without loss of quality through:
- cGM facilities aligned with FDA and global standards.
- Quality oversight & approvals to reduce risk at each step in the process.
- Precision printing for small-format labels, IFUs, and patient literature.
- 24/7 prepress support.

RLG Healthcare makes sourcing simple by offering a broad range of packaging solutions through a single, trusted partner.
Shrink Sleeves – When Tamper Evidence and Durability Matter
Shrink sleeves add tamper-evident protection and durability. Resistant to moisture and chemicals, they’re especially valuable in healthcare applications where product integrity is critical.

RFID strengthens packaging by:
1. Enabling track-and-trace under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA).
2. Supporting serialization and authentication to stop counterfeits.
3. Delivering real-time inventory visibility across the supply chain.
4. Enhancing patient safety through accurate product movement.

The foundation of RLG Healthcare’s entire operation is based on auditable quality systems and global certifications, including:
1. ISO for quality management
2. cGMP for FDA compliance
3. FSC for responsible sourcing
4. G7 & GMI for print consistency.
