The Particularity of Pharmaceutical Packaging Materials

Security of pharmaceutical packaging materials

(1) Packaging materials for safe drug use, especially packaging materials that are in direct contact with drugs, play a decisive role in the stability of drugs. Unsuitable materials cause the migration of active drug ingredients, adsorption or even chemical reactions, drug efficacy failure, or even poisoning.

(2) Selection of packaging materials: The selection of suitable packaging materials to protect the integrity of the quality of the compressed drug is mainly to protect the drug from environmental conditions and the non-reaction of the drug. The drug should not be polluted and non-toxic to meet the requirements of general high-speed packaging machines.

(3) Control of packaging materials: Before packaging materials enter the packaging process, an appropriate system must be established to ensure normal acceptance, testing and storage, and scientific and reasonable packaging forms to ensure safe and effective drug play.

In addition to meeting the general performance of packaging materials, pharmaceutical packaging materials must also meet special requirements such as safety and applicability.


Suitability of pharmaceutical packaging materials

(1) Packaging of solid preparations

Tablets and capsules are now trending in plastic, foil, and foil packs. The commonly used materials are PA/AL/PVC or PET/AL/PET, with a thickness of about 45-50 microns.

Some medicines that need to be protected from light are packaged in aluminum foil. such as vitamin b1.

(2) Masks, cotton swab packaging bags

The commonly used materials are Paper/PE or PET/PE. Ethylene oxide dialysis paper is used to facilitate sterilization. Special glue is used for edge sealing. Traditional heat sealing methods are not used to prevent packaging debris from contaminating medical equipment.

(3) Packaging of injections and large infusions

The high-barrier infusion bag is usually made of transparent material to facilitate the observation of liquid usage. The large infusion is developing from the original glass bottle to the disposable polypropylene plastic packaging. Generally, silica PET or alumina PET is used.

Flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) bags are used as bulk infusion packaging in hospital preparation rooms.

The above are the packaging methods of some commonly used drugs. If you need more information, please contact us.

Continuous inkjet (CIJ) printing is a versatile coding strategy to produce clear, readable alphanumeric codes on irregular and curved surface areas such as pouches, bags, and packs. Food makers usually utilize CIJ printers on their packaging lines to printmaking information, expiration dates, and other variable data straight onto flexible food packaging.
