Introduction
As pharmaceutical companies expand into multiple markets and face ever-growing complexities in their regulatory obligations, the need for private label contract packaging and labelling partners has become increasingly important for the Global Supply Chain. In 2026, instead of seeking suppliers of pharmaceutical packaging based solely on capacity, purchasers are now looking for collaborative partners to assist them with managing the Serialization and Market-Specific Labelling, Artwork Control and Capacity for Commercial Volume without introducing Regulatory or Supply Chain Risk.
This guide identifies some of the best-known and most often shortlist private label pharmaceutical packaging providers throughout Asia and around the world, providing insights to Procurement Professionals on where to source from, what to value most in a potential packaging partner, and how to select a suitable packaging partner using a Buyer in Mind focus.

What Buyers Should Compare & Why it matters
| Buyer Priority |
Why It Matters |
| Serialization experience |
Live-market execution is far better than theoretical capability. |
| Artwork governance |
Artwork Governance not only helps the company avoid potential product recalls and product batch rejections. |
| MOQ flexibility |
MOQ flexibility is critical for companies with a high volume of short-runs or with a multi-SKU portfolio. |
| Regulatory exposure |
The greater a company's regulatory exposure is the lower the risk for that company concerning audit approval/regulatory risk. |
| Capacity planning |
Capacity Planning is important in ensuring a company can maintain product continuity during peaks in demand. |
Common Buyer Mistake
Buyers continually select "top global companies," only to learn that:
- MOQs are too high
- Smaller batches cannot or will not be prioritized
- Artwork turnaround times are slow or not acceptable
- Cost escalation due to defined/rules-based processes
Fit with the supplier's company is far more important than the supplier's brand.
