Welcome to the latest issue of Pharmaceutical Technology Focus magazine

With the recent conclusion of PharmaPack 2026, this month’s magazine is focused on the key messaging that emanated from the event. 

With the prevailing notion from this year’s PharmaPack that packaging has become inseparable from the therapeutic product, this month’s cover feature looks at how pharma packaging is increasingly viewed as a strategic digital asset. 

Meanwhile, our other packaging-related features explore how regulatory pressures on pharmaceutical packaging and drug delivery are driving innovation, and how sustainability is now becoming a core operational requirement. 

And don’t miss our exclusive interview on keeping ahead of pharma supply challenges. 

All this and more in the latest issue of Pharmaceutical Technology Focus.
