The physical packaging and labeling of pharmaceuticals is not dissimilar to packaging and labeling many other products, with pharmaceuticals however, the consequences of getting it wrong are severe. It isn't just that taking the wrong drug won't improve the patient's condition, it could, in some cases, worsen the condition or even kill the patient.
The same goes for taking the wrong dosage - an overdose of some drugs can be lethal. So, control over packaging and labeling is somethingthat GMP takes very seriously.
