When it comes to challenges of pharmaceutical
packaging the foremost thing that comes in mind are the issues related
to the protective means for controlling contamination. This is exactly
where most of the pharmaceutical packaging companies face trouble. Once,
the pharmaceutical products roll off the production companies, the
concern to protect the products from contamination shifts to the
packaging industry.
With the arrival of
several life saving drugs, one of the major issues that many
pharmaceutical packaging companies are facing is producing primary
packaging components, which are compatible with the chemical components
forming the products. Many of the elements in the drugs are highly
sensitive to certain ingredients. Hence, the products have to be sealed
and packed to avoid any leakage.
Pharmaceutical
packaging has always been innovative and creative, with new
technologies bringing up a variety of packaging models such PET bottles
and blister packs, among others. Several cost effective solutions have
also been introduced to make pharmaceutical packaging more affordable.
Consumers are more conscious about the quality of pharmaceutical
products and their visual appearance. Therefore, manufacturers need to
take these issues seriously and ensure quality packaging as well.
Pharmaceutical
packaging is more than just filling the content into a colorfully
designed and labeled container. It demands an extreme degree of safety
until the product reaches the end users and brought to use. Therefore,
it is very different from other commercial product packaging. The prime
focus of the packaging is to protect the drug content from harmful
external elements with different protection levels and make it perfectly
safe for shipping and distribution.
The
stability of the products and the compactness of chemical composition
entirely depend on how the drugs are packed. Ideally, there is no exact
material that can guarantee to balance drug properties. It is
experience, knowledge of materials and judgment of the pharmaceutical
packaging company that determines the success of the pharmaceutical
products.
There are many drugs which are highly
sensitive to sulfur. Being a common component in few rubber elastomeric
formulations, it is another challenge for pharmaceutical packaging.
Other than sensitivity what matters the most in pharmaceutical packaging
is the way the products are going to be used. The packaging of the
drugs highly depends on their uses. Take stopper and vial as instances.
Packaging companies need to know that how the products will to be used
when landed between the end users. If packaging companies are unaware of
the kind of needle to be used or confused whether they will be a
multi-dose application, it is really difficult to handle the issue once
they are in the field. Such issues generate problems because the
chemical composition is typically proportionate during their stability.
