Warm thanks to the creators of the system that marks a new, small step forward towards a goal of equal opportunities for all citizens.”* ### TECOBOX: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ![Image](https://res.cloudinary.com/joomshaper/image/upload/v1582107175/placeholder.svg) Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life" is considered the foundation of evolutionary biology. Groups of organisms of the same species gradually evolve through a process of **natural selection** as environmental conditions change. Similarly, over time, the functionalities of pharmaceutical packaging have evolved. They are no longer limited to the transport of the drug but have progressively extended to include information, identification, and safety. In fact, in recent years, more attention has been given to tamper-evident systems. Initially, these packaging solutions were undifferentiated, ineffective, overly complex, and thus costly. The Tamper Evident Folding Box by IGB marks the **origin** of a **new species**. **A favored box** capable of providing maximum protection to patients' lives and of adapting to any industrial packaging line. And now, **the Struggle for Life**, or the race towards a circular economy, has created a new selective context. Here is the first mutation of IGB's tamper-evident solution into the brand-new TECOBOX, which continues to be the **FAVOURED TAMPER EVIDENT PACKAGING**. Finally, **TECOBOX** (acronym for **Tamper-Evident Ecologic Box)** marks a turning point for secondary packaging in the pharmaceuticals industry. Not only does this innovative system ensure complete protection against tampering, it also incorporates advanced solutions to reduce environmental impact and optimise production costs. As a result, it caters perfectly to the needs of pharmaceutical companies that aim to offer a combination of **safety**, **sustainability**, and **economic efficiency**. The core of the TECOBOX innovation lies in its **integrated mechanical seals**, which replace the conventionally used glue and external plastic labels. Made using **environmentally responsible** materials, such as FSC-certified cardboard and plant-based inks, TECOBOX not only reduces emissions along the supply chain, but also excels through its full compliance with the most stringent regulatory standards, including Directive 2011/62/EU (FMD), ISO 21976:2020**, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161, ISO and CFR Title 21 Regulations 211.132**. This makes it an excellent choice for pharmaceutical companies that are committed to ensuring **patient safety** and preventing counterfeiting. **The TECOBOX.com portal - global connections for the future of packaging** Through the **TECOBOX.com** portal, pharmaceutical companies can access a global ecosystem of qualified manufacturers, such as **IGB**, **Nosco,** **Palladio Group** and **Printmann**, all of which are leaders in the production of **tamper-evident folding boxes**. Through this network, companies can explore possibilities for customised solutions, identify local suppliers, and facilitate their transition from standard folding boxes to an innovative, sustainable **tamper-evident packaging** system. **Commitment to a safer, more sustainable future** More than simply packaging, **TECOBOX** is an integrated solution that helps pharmaceutical companies tackle the challenges of the global market. By combining cost savings, lower environmental impact, and advanced protection, TECOBOX sets new standards for safe, responsible **secondary pharmaceutical packaging**. To find out all about TECOBOX, the innovative tamper-evident packaging, browse the TECOBOX.com portal, where you can also locate your nearest manufacturers of tamper-evident boxes and machinery manufacturers that offer tamper-evident kits that enable you to process TECOBOX perfectly, as well as sourcing approved carboard for the production of safe, reliable **tamper-evident folding cartons**. ### Who we are - [Dino Bressan](https://www.igboxes.com/en/dino-bressan) - [History](https://www.igboxes.com/en/history) - [Sites](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/sites) - [Vision Mission Values](https://www.igboxes.com/en/vision-mission-values) - [Security policy](https://www.igboxes.com/en/security-policy) - [Sustainability Policy](https://www.igboxes.com/en/sustainability-policy) - [Code of Ethics](https://www.igboxes.com/en/code-of-ethics) - [D.LGS. 231/2001](https://www.igboxes.com/en/d-lgs-231-2001) - [CSR](https://www.igboxes.com/en/csr) - [Plastic Free Box](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/plastic-free-packaging) - [100% Quality](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/quality-solutions) - [IGB supports sport](https://www.igboxes.com/en/igb-supports-sport) ### Departments - [Research & development](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/research-development) - [Pre-press](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/pre-press-folding) - [Press](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/press) - [Finishing Department](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/finishing-stages) ### Products - [Pharma packaging](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging) - [TECOBOX](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/tamper-evident-box-tecobox) - [Clinical Trials](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/clinical-trials-cartons) - [Child resistant](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/child-resistant-packaging) - [Tamper & Child resistant](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/tamper-child-resistant) - [Drop-Lock](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/drop-lock-packaging) - [Dispenser](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/dispenser-folding-box "Dispenser | Cardboard Folding Box") - [Breakard](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/cardboard-ampoule-opener-pharma-packaging) - [Ampoule tray](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/cardboard-tray-ampoule) - [Leaflets](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/leaflets-production) - [IP](https://www.igboxes.com/en/intellectualproperty) ### About us - [Awards](https://www.igboxes.com/en/awards) - [Press release](https://www.igboxes.com/en/press-release) ### Privacy Policy [Privacy Policy](https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/98127413 "Privacy Policy ") [Cookie Policy](https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/98127413/cookie-policy "Cookie Policy ") ### Services - [Anti-Counterfeiting](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/anti-counterfeiting-drugs) - [Research & develpment](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/research-development) - [Prototypes](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/prototype-development) - [Serialization](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/serialization-pharma "Serialization Pharma | Pharmaceuticals Packaging") - [Quality Control Certificates](https://www.igboxes.com/en/pharmaceutical-packaging/quality-control-certificates) ### Certificates and Awards - [ISO 9001](https://www.igboxes.com/images/certificati/ISO-9001-14001-45001.pdf "Certificato ISO 9001 - 2015") - [ISO 14001](https://www.igboxes.com/images/certificati/ISO-9001-14001-45001.pdf "Certificato ISO 14001 - 2015") - [ISO 45001](https://www.igboxes.com/images/certificati/ISO-9001-14001-45001.pdf "Certificato ISO 45001 - 2018") - [ISO 22301 - BUSINESS CONTINUITY](https://www.igboxes.com/images/certificati/ISO_22301.pdf "Certificato ISO 22301") - [UNI PDR 125 - GENDER EQUALITY](https://www.igboxes.com/images/certificati/UNI_PDR_125.pdf) - [FSC](https://www.igboxes.com/images/certificati/FSC.pdf "Certificato FSC") ![FSC C112855](https://www.igboxes.com/images/certificati/FSC_C112855_Promotional_with_text_Portrait_WhiteOnBlack_r_Mdg1uf.png) ![IGB SRL EV Recognition](https://www.igboxes.com/images/IGB_SRL_EV_Recognition.png) ### Follow us...
