Pharmaceutical packaging is more than just filling
the content into a colorfully designed and labeled container. It demands
a superior level of safety until the product reaches the end users and
brought to use. Hence, it is very different from other commercial
product packaging. The prime focus of the packaging is to shield the
drug content from damaging external elements with diverse protection
levels and make it entirely safe for shipping & distribution. There
are different pharma packing machines available these days, for example Sachet Packaging
Machine, stick packing machine, etc that make things easier. Let’s find out what a perfect pharmaceutical packaging requires:

Protection
from exterior elements- Since pharmaceuticals involve chemicals in
their manufacturing, they need protection from external elements like
oxygen, water vapor, dust, etc. so as to avoid chemical reaction and
deformation of their actual composition. Using appropriate element and
sealing technique, a barrier is create against expected external
factors.
Physical Protection- Pharmaceuticals
can be in the form of solid (Tablets/Capsules), powder, cream or liquid.
Hence, the content has to be packed accordingly, though almost every
medicine needs protection from vibration, shock, compression,
temperature, etc. enclosed in the package. For more delicate items
additional layer of sheets are used, like cardboard, bubble sheets and
paper strings are used.
Information
transmission - Packaging of the product has to contain information
related to their uses, transportation, recycling/ dispose, etc. on the
label in order to maintain safety of the product. The information might
be printed in the form of text, note, warning or symbol.
Comfort
- Comfortable features have to be included for easy handling,
distribution, display, opening, sale, re-closing, use and re-use. This
provides the package extra efficiency and safety to the pack, no matter
how they are handled.
Agglomeration or Containment
- Medicinal items need to be grouped together in one package for
efficient transportation and handling. Mostly, tablets and capsules (in
small numbers, preferably 5/10/12) are packed between metallic/ plastic
sheets joined and sealed together. Many of them are also bottled. The
choice of containment depends on the type of medicine to be packed.
Marketing
- Apart from safety and efficiency, pharma packaging must also have the
marketing ability. Packaging is not just to provide production to the
product but also to encourage potential buyers to purchase the product.
For the purpose, packages are labeled with fine and attractive print.
