Pharmaceutical Packaging Solutions for California

Packaging and Labeling Solutions for California Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Teams

We are your one packaging partner for every California sub-market: acute care, long-term care, retail, dental, and pediatric.

California holds one of the largest pharmaceutical sectors and healthcare systems in the United States, with high-volume hospital networks across Los Angeles, Orange County, and the Central Valley. MPI supports these teams with packaging solutions that scale across primary and secondary packaging needs, supporting California Board of Pharmacy expectations, DSCSA traceability, and the strict quality standards that govern every pharmaceutical product moving through the state’s supply chain.

Supporting Hospitals, Health Systems, and IDNs in California

MPI’s Auto-Print® Plus, Fluidose® Series 6, and Auto-Wrap® unit dose labeling systems anchor barcode medication administration (BCMA) workflows for California hospitals and IDNs, producing scannable, traceable packages that protect patient safety at the point of drug administration.

Reduce bedside scanning failures with high-quality, machine-readable barcodes on every unit dose.
Improve accuracy and eliminate typos with features such as First Data Bank integration and GTIN information recall, reducing manual keystrokes.
Standardize medication packaging across every facility in your IDN

Pak-EDGE® Barcode Labeling Software for Custom Pharmacy Workflows

Pak-EDGE® UD Barcode Labeling Software gives California facilities one platform for custom barcodes, label templates, and compliance reporting across GS1, 2D, linear, and QR formats.

Skip manual entry. Scan a bulk bottle and auto-populate NDC, strength, generic name, and expiration date through First Databank integration.
One platform, every label: unit dose strips, cups, blister labels, and syringe labels.

Connect Packaging Data to the Tools Your Team Depends On

California health systems answer to demanding oversight, and they run on dispensing and records platforms they can’t afford to work around. MPI built Pak-EDGE® to feed those platforms clean data while automating the dating and documentation that compliance requires.

Compatible with the dispensing and EHR systems you operate. Every barcode Pak-EDGE® generates follows GS1, 2D, and linear standards, so it reads accurately inside the barcode medication administration and automated dispensing environments your facility already uses, Pyxis, Omnicell, and Epic, among them.
Expiration dating without the manual math. The software calculates default shelf life and proposes expiration dates automatically, offering exact-day or last-day-of-month precision and capping every date at the medication’s true shelf life. That cuts a repetitive step and the errors that ride along with it.
Documentation built for inspection day. Daily Brief, Daily Detailed, Custom, and Totals reports export in a few clicks, while lot-level traceability and a batch-approval workflow give directors the oversight a state board or Joint Commission review expects.

Reviews

The rep that I spoke with who helped was very pleasant and able to walk me through the process of fixing the issue. They are also sending me a PDF on how to fix it on my own for next time which is very helpful. I also believe the time between my voicemail and call back was appropriate – e.g. I don’t think that I had to wait too long for a call back from someone at Pak-EDGE.

I just wanted to say that MPI Customer Assurance Staff was great. They were so helpful and patient. I have been working on this package machine since we got it back in 2008 or so. But we are in our 2nd machine. So I pretty much know alot about it already. But when I have issues I make the call to you all. And I have been very pleased with you all. Keep up the good work.rn
