Late-Stage Customization (LSC®)
Reduce changeover downtimes up to 90% by decoupling your primary and secondary packaging processes—adding printing and cartoning on demand. later, when needed.
A flexible solution for small and variable blister line batches.
Our Late-Stage Customization Solutions
Discover solutions that connect smoothly with upstream blister machines and downstream inspection, printing serialization, and cartoning systems.
Benefits
Boost effectiveness
Decouple primary and secondary packaging to keep blister lines running—and cut downtime by up to 90%, increasing OEE up to 25%.
Accelerate time to market
Start production immediately after local approval using neutral or partially printed materials—shortening launch timelines by up to 6 weeks.
Improve sustainability
Eliminate pre-printed materials and excess inventory, and significantly reduce material consumption, waste , and storage requirements.
Ecosystem
Seamless line integration
Continuous blister production
Maintain stable, uninterrupted primary packaging output without stopping for country or artwork changes—maintaining your production flow.
Buffer & staging
Use the BIB-BOB® module to decouple your process, buffer neutral blisters for later customization, and reduce repeated line restarts and changeover-related interruptions.
On-demand customization
Transfer blisters to the LSC® Center for precise, recipe-driven printing, tailored to market-specific requirements.
Inline verification
Apply integrated inspection to verify market-specific content, data integrity, and compliance across all printed blister variants.
Downstream finishing
Feed the finalized, inspected blisters directly into cartoning, serialization, and aggregation systems to complete your packaging process.
Industry context
Resilient supply chains for global markets
Pharmaceutical manufacturers face shrinking batch sizes, multi-market launches, and increasing demands for country-specific artwork—but traditional stop-and-change packaging leads to downtime, waste and increased unit costs.
By transitioning to a produce-now, customize-later process, you can avoid overproduction and reduce inventory risks.
With this data-driven approach, standardized interfaces support flexible scaling across both established hubs and diverse manufacturing networks, without requiring major layout changes.
