Putting Security First

"Security packaging is definitely worth the increase per package," said Gregg Metcalf, KURZ national account representative for Security Packaging. "You have people taking drugs, some on a daily basis, and some of those drugs are very expensive, which makes them prime targets for counterfeiting, and counterfeiters don't care whether or not they have actual product or substandard pharmaceutical ingredients in the products they counterfeit. It's definitely worth it when people's lives are at risk."
