Understand the properties of drugs and determine packaging materials
Different types of drugs have different requirements for packaging, which mainly depends on the physical and chemical properties of the drugs, such as photosensitivity, water solubility, oxidizability, etc. For example:
Tablets and capsules: need to be moisture-proof and anti-oxidation, it is recommended to use aluminum-plastic packaging bags, which can effectively block air and moisture and extend the shelf life of drugs.
Powder drugs: need good sealing to prevent agglomeration, and multi-layer composite drug packaging bags can be used, which have both high barrier and easy sealing characteristics.
Liquid drugs: need to be resistant to chemical corrosion and have strong sealing, suitable for using high-barrier soft packaging bags or PE/AL/PE structure packaging bags to avoid liquid leakage and loss of efficacy.
Focus on barrier properties and extend the storage period of drugs
Drugs are easily affected by factors such as humidity, oxygen, and ultraviolet rays, so the barrier properties of packaging bags are particularly important. Common high-barrier packaging bags on the market generally use a composite structure containing aluminum foil, PVDC or coating materials, which can effectively prevent the external environment from interfering with drugs. They are particularly suitable for prescription drugs and Chinese patent medicines with high stability requirements.
Convenient design improves the user experience
Modern pharmaceutical packaging no longer only emphasizes protection functions, but also pays more attention to user experience. For example:
Easy-tear design: convenient for patients to open the package and improve the convenience of medication.
Single-dose packaging: control the dosage each time to avoid waste.
Clear printing: drug information labels can be customized according to customers to enhance product professionalism and brand recognition.
Taking into account environmental protection and regulations, in line with international standards
Pharmaceutical packaging must not only comply with the relevant regulations of the State Food and Drug Administration, but also comply with international standards such as ISO, GMP, and FDA. Under the trend of environmental protection, more and more pharmaceutical companies are beginning to pay attention to the application of recyclable packaging materials or green printing inks to reduce the impact on the environment.
