Pharma Log Book and Batch Record Printing: Specifications Explained

What are pharma log books and batch records?

Log books, Batch Manufacturing Records (BMRs), Batch Packaging Records (BPRs), SOP binders, registers and controlled-copy forms are printed records for pharmaceutical manufacturers, laboratories and other regulated businesses that need printed records. They are documentation, not primary packaging.

See pharma log books, batch manufacturing records, SOP binders and controlled-copy forms.

What sizes and paper specifications are used?

Log books and batch records are printed in A3, A4 or A5 with 70–100gsm inner stock. Format, paper, binding, numbering and size are confirmed per job, so there is no single fixed specification.

What binding is used for pharma documentation?

Log books and batch records are available with hardbound case binding. We perform case binding in-house, so the job has one less handoff and tighter control over the finished specification. See case-bound books and our binding services.

Can every page be numbered?

Yes. We can print sequential numbering, document control numbers and barcodes. Each page or each book can carry a unique number or identifier. See variable data and numbering. Send us the numbering sequence and layout so we can confirm the production process.

Why does it matter that printing, numbering and binding happen in one facility?

Print, sequential numbering and case binding are done in one facility, which means fewer handoffs, better control over the specification and less room for delays or inconsistencies. A job that moves between separate vendors for printing, numbering and binding has more points where the specification can be misunderstood.

What is the minimum order for pharma log books?

Minimum quantities are job-dependent and confirmed at quotation. Send us the specification and quantity and we will confirm whether the job is commercially workable.

If you have ordered the same log book before, mention the previous order reference.

Can I see a sample first?

Samples can be provided for log books. For other products, samples can be provided for many products. For some jobs we can show existing production samples; where a custom sample or prototype is required, the process, cost and timeline depend on the product and specification, and any charge and expected timeline are confirmed before the sample is produced.

Can I order other pharma documentation from the same printer?

Yes. If your requirement includes log books, batch records, SOP binders, registers and controlled-copy forms, send the full list and we can quote them together where appropriate. See the pharma and regulated printing range. We serve Delhi NCR directly and can dispatch suitable orders across India. International enquiries are also considered depending on the product, destination and quantity.

Frequently asked questions

What are batch manufacturing records?

Batch manufacturing records document production stages and batch information. We print batch manufacturing records and batch packaging records from your approved layout.

Can you print variable data like batch numbers or dates on each page?

Yes. Depending on the product, we can handle variable information such as sequential numbering, document control numbers and barcodes. Send us the data format and layout so we can confirm the process.

Do you keep my page layout and numbering format on file for reorders?

We retain relevant job specifications and approved production information where appropriate, so repeat requirements can be handled more consistently. Always mention the previous order reference when you reorder.

What if I need to change the numbering sequence or page layout for a reorder?

Send the updated specification with your reorder request. If any detail has changed from the previous job, we will flag it before production.

What file formats do you need for page layouts?

PDF, AI, CDR or high-resolution JPG/PNG. A print-ready PDF with bleed and crop marks is ideal. If your artwork is not print-ready, we will tell you what needs fixing.
