Contract Packaging Services
Founded in 1882 in apothecary packaging, Jones Healthcare Group has evolved alongside pharmaceutical brands for over a century. Today, our contract packaging operations sit at the intersection of regulatory compliance and retail performance — delivering packaging solutions that operate seamlessly across regulatory environments and retail channels.
From our Health Canada and FDA-inspected, cGMP-compliant facility, we support regulated drug, supplements and natural health products across North America.
Our Packaging Services Focus

Prescription Pharmaceutical Packaging
For regulated drug products requiring specialized packaging formats beyond standard in-house bottling.

Retail-Ready & Mass Retail Configurations

This specialization bridges regulatory packaging requirements with real-world retail performance — a capability many contract packagers do not prioritize.
Packaging Engineering & Program Management
Successful packaging programs require disciplined technical execution and coordinated project management.
At Jones Healthcare Group, every packaging program is led by a dedicated program manager who coordinates cross-functional activities across engineering, quality, procurement and operations to keep projects on schedule and aligned with client requirements.
Our engineering team supports packaging programs from pilot projects through full commercial production, providing expertise in:
- Packaging feasibility assessments
- Line setup and format configuration
- Production line optimization
- Packaging transfers and scale-up
- Packaging validation and participation in equipment qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ)
Engineering and quality teams also participate in client audits and technical onboarding, supporting regulatory alignment for pharmaceutical and consumer health products.
Clients may engage with Jones through either turnkey program management or a collaborative model, depending on the level of technical involvement preferred.
Our teams support up to 30 new packaging programs and product transfers annually, bringing structured execution and regulatory discipline to every engagement.
