In the wake of Brexit, the regulations on medicinal products are undergoing significant changes. It is crucial for companies involved in the manufacturing and distribution of these products to the UK to keep well-informed in order to ensure compliance and avoid potentially expensive recalls and penalties.
Our labeling and artwork expert, Bob Tilling, VP of Global Sales here at Kallik, says, “When it comes to the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, compliance can be life or death for patients using the products. And with regulations changing constantly at the moment, it’s important to be using a labeling and artwork management system that’s futureproof and can easily make mass changes with minimal stress and hassle.”
The recent announcement of the new labeling and packaging requirements under the Windsor Framework Agreement means organizations will now have to make mass changes to their product packaging in order to stay compliant. To help you understand these regulations and their implications, we've compiled a comprehensive guide. Here's a brief overview of what to expect.

Part 1 - Understanding the New Windsor Framework Regulations, Who They’ll Affect, and What Steps to Take:
The Windsor Framework, born out of post-Brexit negotiations between the UK and EU, mandates labeling changes for goods intended for sale in Northern Ireland and Great Britain. Notably, from January 1, 2025, all UK medicinal products must bear a 'UK Only' label, impacting various stakeholders, including pharmaceutical companies and retailers. Failure to comply could lead to goods being halted at the border, causing significant delays and potential financial penalties.
