Primary vs. Secondary Supplement Packaging

Understanding the difference between primary containers and secondary packaging ensures smooth procurement and clear specifications for your supplement line:

  • • Flexible Pouches
  • • Blister Packs

PM Packaging does not produce primary containers.

  • • Folding Cartons
  • • Bottle Sleeves
  • • Sachet Dispensers
  • • Retail PDQ Trays

PM Packaging manufactures all secondary packaging.
