Why Does Experience Matter in Regulated Product Packaging?

November 2, 2026

When you’re packaging over-the-counter drugs, foods, or dietary supplements, there’s very little room for error. A misplaced label or incorrect lot code can lead to delays, rejected shipments, or worse. That’s why the partner you choose for secondary packaging matters as much as the product itself.

What Is Secondary Packaging?

Secondary packaging is everything outside a product’s primary container, including cartons, kits, shrink wrapping, inserts, and retail-ready assemblies. It’s what customers see first, and it carries information that regulators and retailers expect to be right every time.

How Long Has Madcar Been FDA Registered?

Madcar has maintained FDA registration for more than 30 years, supporting secondary packaging programs for OTC drugs, foods, and dietary supplements.

How Does Experience Improve Packaging Quality?

Three decades of regulated work have shaped how we operate. Our team follows clear procedures and Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) across our operations. We handle products carefully at every stage, keep quality checks consistent, and ensure the people on our floor understand what’s expected.

What Contract Packaging Services Does Madcar Offer?

Madcar provides turnkey contract packaging, assembly, fulfillment, and distribution. Services include packaging and assembly, shrink wrapping, hand gluing, and refurbishing and reclamation, all from our facility in Islandia, New York.
