NVC Packaging Centre

Packaging of pharmaceutical products and medical devices requires specific knowledge in areas such as packaging materials, packaging machinery, legislation, risk and safety. These topics are discussed during four three-hour online training sessions.

The course language is business English and the course is globally accessible; you can participate from any place you wish (without any travel costs). All you need to attend the online sessions are a computer, headset, adequate internet connection and the possibility/permission to connect to the system we use for our online learning modules.

The course is provided by a live tutor, located in the NVC studio. Your live tutor will answer all your questions during the sessions or afterwards.

In this project, NVC member companies study the trends in packaging for medicines and medical devices.

On 24 and 25 January 2024, Pharmapack Europe will take place at Expo de Versailles, Hall 7.2 in Paris. NVC members (both exhibitors and visitors) will discuss the latest developments in pharmaceutical packaging with each other there. Thursday 25 January 2024 at 3 PM CET, we will organise an informal walk-in consultation on the upcoming new European Directive relating to medicinal products for human use.

On 8 November 2023, NVC provided official input on this Directive, with a special focus on packaging and how on-pack information should be designed and shared in the future. The consultation hour will take place at the exhibition's innovation pavilion, where NVC director Michael Nieuwesteeg will be present to address your possible questions and comments.

On Tuesday 24 October 2023, NVC will be present at the CPHI Barcelona (Spain) scouting innovations in the field of packaging materials, machines and devices for the global healthcare sector.
