Platinum Press Adds Walgreens

GRAND PRAIRIE, TX—February 3, 2015—Platinum Press, Inc. (PPI), a provider of healthcare packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical, medical device and animal care sectors specializing in labels, folding cartons, blister packaging, inserts/outserts and medication guides, is now a fully certified print packaging supplier for all Walgreens pharmacies.

To earn the certification, PPI underwent a stringent program administered by Graphic Measures International (GMI), an organization that monitors and validates suppliers’ required process controls and ability to deliver consistent results for its vendors. This certification enables PPI to gain full approval as a print packaging supplier for Walgreens, which operates approximately 8,200 pharmacies nationwide.

Platinum Press is also expanding operations with a new manufacturing facility in Pine Brook, New Jersey. Because many PPI customers require the company’s packaging components for production plants in the NY/NJ area, the new space will duplicate services and products offered at the company’s Grand Prairie, Texas headquarters, reducing shipping costs and weather issues for its Northeastern customers.
