Parcel Health is a sustainable healthcare packaging company transforming how prescriptions are dispensed and delivered. The company developed the Tully Tube™, the world's first paper prescription bottle, designed to replace traditional plastic prescription vials that contribute billions of units of healthcare waste each year.
Healthcare generates enormous amounts of single-use plastic, with more than 8 billion plastic prescription bottles discarded annually in the United States alone. Parcel Health addresses this challenge by creating fully recyclable prescription packaging that maintains compliance, patient safety, and pharmacy workflow requirements while significantly reducing environmental impact.
The company's packaging solutions are designed for retail pharmacies, hospital systems, telemedicine providers, veterinary clinics, and healthcare organizations seeking to improve patient experience while advancing sustainability goals. Beyond sustainability, Parcel Health focuses on creating packaging that improves the healthcare experience through thoughtful design, customization, and patient-centered functionality.
