That experience helps Menasha be a guiding light for OTC and pharmaceutical brands and to showcase their products through primary packaging, promotional displays and in-store signage so consumers can easily navigate and self-advocate at the shelf. We’ve steered major brands through successful Rx to OTC switches by winning on Day One and beyond, with the proven processes, retailer expertise, speed and agility that prime early success.
We manage everything from material manufacturing through fulfillment for home diagnostic kits that include pregnancy, ancestry DNA, and COVID-19 tests, just to name a few.

Our coast-to-coast network of FDA-certified facilities allow us to be your single source supplier from initial design to retail shelf or porch. Your prescription for success?

Rx to OTC switches can be a minefield of potential problems. That’s why it’s smart to go with a partner that has a mastery of the process. Menasha functions as a trusted bridge between brands and retailers to ensure Day One success.
A key component to hit the ground running is the coast-to-coast Menasha Omnihub Network, which offers a single-source supplier to reduce risk and costs. It’s part of an independently owned, flat organization that’s fully integrated for faster response times and execution. Our agility and speed to market helps big switches go smoother. All of this, along with our “can-do” attitude, makes us the Gold Standard for Rx to OTC switches. So flip our switch. And get the full extent of our capabilities and experience.
Some of our successful switches include:
OpportunityGSK wanted to be first to market and raise awareness and education of their RX to OTC (over-the-counter) launch of Voltaren’s topical arthritis treatment. GSK wanted to flood Walgreens stores with impactful displays that target consumers who are looking for non-prescription ways to treat their arthritis pain.
Four different executions were developed to address key locations across the store: end-stand drop-ins, towers, side panels, and in-line graphics. The displays leveraged the bright orange color of the brand and larger-than-life tubes of Voltaren to draw in consumers.
Consumers learned about arthritis pain relief through education panels on displays, as well as attached brochures. The displays shipped to the store assembled and ready for stocking to ensure compliance, simple installation, and quick execution. Pre-launch communication was executed in store, highlighting “Coming Soon” to create awareness and anticipation. This message was removed when product arrived. Collaboration with GSK, Walgreens and Menasha enabled swift execution of all displays and in-line activation for the launch. Menasha’s switch expertise, speed, and agility, and proven processes allowed for a successful Day One deployment.
The displays helped raise consumer awareness and knowledge of the product with speed-to-market as a driving factor for display acceptance. Voltaren was first to market at Walgreens and sales topped all other retailers’ placements, significantly exceeding original forecasts.
