Pharmaceutical packaging is essential for a successful business. Packaging helps to protect drugs and products from the outside atmosphere and contaminants. It also assists in patient compliance and promotes proper use of medication. It also helps to avoid counterfeiting of drugs.
The material used for pharmaceutical packaging varies according to the type of drug and the manufacturing process. It also varies according to the convenience of the user and the type of patient. Some of the commonly used materials are glass, plastic, and paperboard. These materials vary according to their cost, physical characteristics of the drug, and legal requirements.
Gass is commonly used for pharmaceutical packaging due to their superior protective qualities. It is treated with SO2 at an elevated temperature. This treatment helps to stop corrosion of the contents.

Plastic containers are also used for semi-solid dosage forms. Polyethylene is a good barrier against moisture and essential odors. It is also resistant to most acids and alkalis. However, its clarity is less than that of glass. It is also relatively inexpensive.
Polystyrene is a crystal clear plastic that is widely used by pharmacists for solid dosage forms. It has a low melting point and high oxygen permeability. However, it is also susceptible to scratching and buildup of static charge. It is also highly permeable to water vapor. This may adversely affect the shelf life of the drug.
Plastic pouches are a very inexpensive form of pharmaceutical packaging. They are also very flexible. They allow for easier dispensing and are available in many different shapes and sizes. They are also preservative free, making them ideal for medicines. They are also convenient and affordable.
Blister packs are also widely used for solid doses. They consist of a base layer and a lidding made of plastic or aluminum foil. They are also known as thermoformed plastics. They have been used by the pharmaceutical industry for over 40 years. They have become very popular and are a great way to identify products quickly and safely. Blister packs also increase patient satisfaction.
Uflex has joined Mespack and Hoffer Plastics in October 2021, for developing an easy recyclable polypropylene. These new pouches will have longer shelf life, offer barrier properties and will have easy heat sealability.
