IFU Leaflets
We are proud to have been supplying the Pharmaceutical industry for many years providing our specialised folding facilities
Information for Use Leaflets (IFU Leaflets) are printed documents containing important information and essential for pharmaceutical packing. This information is significant for patients and consumers.
It is essential for the IFU leaflet to be written in a clear and understandable format to ensure that the correct information is conveyed to the user - whether health care professional or patient - in an efficient manner.

Communicating key information to patients is crucial in pharmaceutical packaging. This is why all our leaflets can be printed in multiple languages.
All our leaflets are designed to be multi-fold, allowing it to fit into the tightest packaging space. This gives room to fit both product and instructions for use.
We use a range of specialist equipment to ensure the highest quality for your IFU leaflets.
Print Size:
Our range of B1 & B3 perfector sheet fed litho presses ensure consistent and precise printing. These print on both sides of the sheet in one pass. For maximum efficiency in high volume print runs, we recommend printing on large format sheet sizes of B1(1020mm x 720mm). While B3 presses and high-quality digitial presses are an economical option for lower volume runs.
Folding Options:
Our leaflets can fit into the small packing spaces often required by pharmaceutical packing by being designed to fold in multiple orientations. We use specialist folding equipment from GUK, Stahl and H&H to offer these various folding options, from B1 sheet size to minimum fold size of 15mm. Typically, IFU leaflets are printed on 50gsm - 70gsm offset. We are flexible and happy to advise on all aspects of your specifications.
Colour System:
Our Press Colour Management System also ensures colour consistency. We know how important branding and maintaining correct corporate identity to ensure consumers recognise the product.
We offer a flexible approach in the way we work. We can offer special packaging, labelling and documentation to suit your processes. We understand the importance of deadlines and pride ourselves in delivering on time as promised.

An Information for Use leaflet is a document that provides essential instructions for safe and effective use of a medical or pharmaceutical product.
Yes. In the UK, EU, and many other regions, an IFU leaflet is mandatory for pharmaceuticals and medical devices to meet regulatory standards and protect patients.
They help patients take medicines correctly, reducing errors and improving outcomes.
An IFU leaflet may contain more technical details aimed at both patients and healthcare professionals, whereas a patient information leaflet (PIL) focuses primarily on patient-friendly language.
Manufacturers and marketing authorisation holders are responsible for drafting and updating the leaflet according to regulatory standards. At Lanes Printers, we collaborate closely with pharmaceutical clients to ensure IFU leaflets meet the latest MHRA, EU MDR, and FDA standards.
