Patient leaflets that match the master, in every market.

Switch the leaflet to another language, then lay the approved master over it. Every box lands where it was: the warning, the dosage table, the numbered sections.

Sample leaflet, for illustration.

The same text, from the pharmacy shelf to the review desk.

A pharmacy shelf of white medicine cartons with different colour bands per market

On the shelf

One carton design per market, each from the same approved artwork.

Freshly folded patient leaflets stacking in a printer's output tray

In the print run

The translated file is the print file: same format, same folds, same panel sizes.

Two printed leaflets side by side on a desk with a ruler laid across both

On the review desk

Reviewers lay the local leaflet beside the master and check wording, not layout.

What has to survive translation, and does.

The boxed warning
Stays a box, stays red, and stays the size the master gave it. The translation is fitted inside it rather than pushing it onto the next panel.
⚠Nicht mehr als 8 Tabletten in 24 Stunden.
Dosage tables
Rows, columns and header colour come back as they were. Numbers and units are protected, so 500 mg never becomes 50 mg.
対象用量
成人1回1~2錠
Numbered sections
Section 4 is still section 4 in every language, so reviewers can check the German against the master line by line.

4. Welche Nebenwirkungen sind möglich?

Right-to-left editions
Arabic and Hebrew leaflets mirror within each panel the way a native layout would, instead of right-aligning text on a left-to-right page.

A label change in twelve markets, start to finish.

  1. Monday

    The master is approved

    Regulatory signs off the updated English leaflet and carton artwork.

  2. Monday

    Upload once

    Send the leaflet (InDesign, Word or PDF) and the carton artwork, and pick the twelve market languages.

  3. Tuesday

    Twelve versions come back

    Each one in the master's layout. The QA report points reviewers at the lines worth checking first.

  4. This week

    Local reviewers check wording

    They review language against a layout they already approved, not a rebuilt document.

  5. Next week

    Print

    The edited files are the print files: same format you sent, still editable.

A medicine carton, an open patient leaflet with dense columns, a blister pack and a vial

Cartons and labels, from the same master artwork.

Upload the carton or label artwork as an Illustrator or Photoshop file. The text on it is translated and set back in the original style, so packaging for a new market starts from your approved artwork instead of a redraw.

Regulated phrases go in the glossary once and are used on every leaflet and carton.

Questions regulatory teams ask us

Does this replace regulatory review?

No. Pagebirdy gives your reviewers a correctly laid-out translation to approve; sign-off stays with your team.

Can we keep our own terminology?

Yes. Add terms to a glossary once and every translation in the workspace uses them, so product names, regulated phrases and house style stay the same across files and languages.

Do we get an editable file back?

Yes. You get the same file type you uploaded: an IDML opens in InDesign, a DOCX in Word, a PPTX in PowerPoint. Nothing is flattened into a PDF you can't change. The one exception is Photoshop: a PSD comes back as a flattened PNG.

Which languages can we translate into?

40+ languages, including right-to-left scripts. Arabic and Hebrew come back with the layout mirrored the way a native designer would set it, not just the text reversed.
