The Indian pharmaceutical sector has emerged as a global leader in generics and specialty medicines. However, with growth accelerating, the industry faces mounting threats with product diversion, counterfeiting, and copying. It not only threatens patient safety but also erodes brand trust and causes significant revenue loss.
Furthermore, weak traceability systems and insufficient tertiary packaging make product tracking more difficult, often leading to a breakdown in consumer confidence. As a result, there is a growing demand for scalable, high-security packaging solutions that can be implemented without disrupting existing operations.
Novoflex addresses these challenges with precision-engineered security seals featuring embossed company marks, sequential serial numbers, and advanced tamper-evident features. These solutions enhance traceability, deter counterfeiting, and reduce product diversion.
It believes in offering fast tooling lead times and customization at scale without compromising quality or cost-effectiveness. Today, the company has become a trusted partner for mission-critical anti-counterfeiting programs, and delivering high-performance sealing systems that protect pharmaceutical brands across domestic and export markets.
Precision Sealing for Safe, Compliant Pharma Logistics
With four decades of engineering expertise, Novoflex has garnered a robust reputation for delivering high-precision, high-reliability components to industries where quality is non-negotiable. For instance, its in-depth knowledge of high-performance plastics such as PA6 and PA66 allows it to meet demanding technical requirements for durability, stability, and performance.
In the pharmaceutical sector, Novoflex aligns its operations with IATF 16949 standards and the principles of pharmaceutical quality management systems, ensuring complete compliance and traceability.
The company is also fully compliant with HSSSP (Harmonized Standards for the Storage and Security of Pharmaceuticals), further demonstrating its commitment to safeguarding product integrity throughout the supply chain. It’s fully in-house capabilities, ranging from design and tooling to injection moulding, and provides tight control over quality and delivery timelines, allowing clients to move quickly from concept to deployment.
Novoflex has 40 years of engineering experience and has established a robust reputation for supplying high-precision and high-reliability parts to several different industriesDinesh Banka, CEO & Managing Director, Vaibhav Banka & DESCRIPTION Vineet Banka, Directors
The company's key strengths include low minimum order quantities with tailored branding and markings, rapid prototyping and delivery to meet urgent project timelines, and designs aligned with HSSSP norms.
“Our customisation capabilities and fast tooling turnaround make us a dependable partner for mission-critical anti-counterfeit initiatives. We are uniquely positioned to offer scalability with consistency”, says Dinesh Banka, CEO & Managing Director, Novoflex.
Novoflex range for pharma includes laser-engraved security seals with individual serial numbers, company logos, and optional QR codes for digital traceability. The portfolio also features single-use tamper-evident cable ties and locks that cannot be reused once opened, and shipment identifiers engineered for bulk drug and export consignments. These components are designed to perform consistently under temperature fluctuations, ensuring the integrity of sensitive cargo during transit.
Partnership Built on Trust & Performance
Novoflex's approach goes beyond simply supplying parts. It delivers end-to-end solutions shaped through close client collaboration, beginning with pilot testing, integrating feedback loops, and aligning with established SOPs. This structured engagement process allows customers to validate performance under real-world conditions before scaling up.
The company has built lasting trust by combining consistent product performance with proactive technical support and a zero-surprise policy on pricing and delivery. More than a vendor, Novoflex acts as a strategic partner, helping clients strengthen their supply chain security. Its success is reflected in long-term relationships founded on transparency, reliability, and responsiveness, qualities essential in the highly regulated and fast-evolving pharmaceutical environment.
In practice, this means that a client facing repeated seal tampering in export consignments could work with Novoflex to develop a custom-embossed, serialised security tie tested under simulated shipping conditions. After fine-tuning the design through pilot batches, the client could roll out the solution across all facilities, significantly reducing diversion incidents.
Future-Ready Seals with Smart Technology
Looking ahead, Novoflex is integrating digital intelligence with its physical protection systems. Developments underway include embedding NFC/RFID technology into seals, enabling real-time verification of authenticity, and creating API-readable serialization systems that allow customers to track products through secure digital platforms.
A dedicated R&D cell is being set up to focus on IoT-based brand protection, supported by staff training on global pharmaceutical compliance standards. This ensures that new solutions meet the highest regulatory benchmarks while staying adaptable to evolving threats.
For example, a future-generation seal could allow a shipment’s status to be scanned at multiple checkpoints without breaking the seal, creating a tamper-proof digital audit trail accessible to both manufacturer and regulator. This would help ensure both product security and compliance with tightening international traceability laws.
Expanding Capabilities across Industries
From its origins as a specialist in electrical wiring accessories, Novoflex has steadily broadened its capabilities. It is now an OEM-approved vendor for automotive leaders such as Maruti, Hyundai, Tata, and TVS, while also supplying to the telecom and solar sectors. The company’s expansion into the pharmaceutical space has been supported by the commissioning of a dedicated pharma-grade injection moulding facility at Chak Barali, Kolkata, complete with clean-room infrastructure.
By combining engineering expertise, compliance-focused processes, and a commitment to innovation, Novoflex is positioning itself as a leader in secure, compliant, and intelligent packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical sector.
