The HCPC's Compliance Package of the Year competition has recognized the most innovative pharmaceutical packages designed to improve patient adherence since 1995. In 2015, the organization’s 25th anniversary, the HCPC is launching a corresponding student competition to recognize innovative pharmaceutical packaging designs from undergraduate or graduate students of pharmaceutical and/or packaging schools that assists patients in taking their medication as prescribed. To participate in the competition, the pharmaceutical package design must:
1) be in a compliance-prompting format with at least one patient adherence enhancing feature
2) not require pharmaceutical to be “re-packaged” by patients
3) be in a child-resistant format, if intended for home use, per Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) guidelines
4) practical to manufacture with industry available technology or readily adaptable technology
5) be U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and CPSC compliant
Concept outlines will be due January 29th, 2015. The concept outline will be evaluated and when approved, students may begin development of the package prototype, bench samples, or 3D renderings. Concept outline approvals will be received by Friday, February 5th. If supplying prototpyes, ten (10) prototypes will be required for judging. Three dimensional renderings can by supplied electronically. Students may work on the design in conjunction with their packaging and/or pharmaceutical schools. HCPC members may be available as mentors to students advancing to the flexible packaging prototype/bench sample/3D rendering development round.
