Quality Vision

A pharmaceutical packaging printer since 1932, but founded as National Office and Supply Company in 1906, Nosco today has facilities in Waukegan and Gurnee, Ill. and Carrollton, Texas. It provides a breadth of products and services for high-end pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, ophthalmic, bio-tech, and medical device packaging. The Waukegan facility produces folding cartons, while the other two facilities produce pressure-sensitive labels and a variety of folded literature including med guides and other forms of patient information. One recent innovation developed by the company is called "Lit-A-Sure," a folding carton with an attached insert that eliminates the need for literature feeding on the production line. In fact, Nosco's new product development area has proven to be a significant value-add for its customers, representing roughly one-third of the company's $75 million in annual revenues.
