Medicine packaging is an important factor for the safe delivery and storage of medicines. It is also necessary to implement security measures to assure that the medicine is genuine. There are several types of medicine packaging, including primary, secondary and tertiary packaging.
Primary Packaging
The name of the game in primary medicine packaging is to enclose a haptic container without tampering with the contents. This is not a new concept, but a slew of recent innovations have streamlined the process, allowing a patient to enjoy the benefits of a prescribed dose with a minimum of fuss. To this end, the invention is a novel mechanism that partially encases a flask. For the more technically inclined, this oh-so-frugal solution can be repurposed as a stand-alone device.
Although the present tack can be a bit of a pain to maintain in a hurried hurry, it is a worthy inclusion to any medical library. For instance, a haptic dispenser may be placed inside a small container, which is retuned upon demand. In addition, the flask itself forms a requisite stand-alone support for the aforementioned device.
Secondary Packaging
Secondary packaging is the additional layer of protection for pharmaceutical products. It is designed to enhance the product's branding while also protecting it from possible tampering. Packaging can be done under one roof or in several locations. In some cases, secondary packaging is produced in the same facility as the primary packaging.
There are many types of secondary medicine packaging. The most common is the carton. This type of packaging is useful for a number of applications, including holding bottles, blisters, and even medications. Carton packaging offers greater options for decorative elements and a smaller footprint.
Carton can be printed on both sides. Folding cartons are a more durable form of cardboard. They have a better printing surface and can hold more products. A folding carton is a popular secondary packaging option. Unlike the bulky cardboard delivery boxes commonly used by retailers, these containers can hold a variety of primary packages. Moreover, they can be pre-printed.
Tertiary Packaging
Tertiary medicine packaging is a type of product packaging that protects drugs during transportation, storage, and distribution. This is done to keep drugs from contamination and ensure the purity of the drugs.
Medicine packaging is a critical part of the pharmaceutical supply chain. There are three main types of medicine packaging: primary, secondary, and tertiary. The different forms of medicine packaging depend on the drug's physical makeup and features.
The primary package is a product container that directly encases the drug. Primary packages are often fragile and need protection during transport.
Secondary packaging is the next step after primary packaging and is used to further label the drug. In addition to the drug's SKU, secondary packaging may include the manufacturer name, warnings, ingredients, and addresses.
Tertiary medicine packaging is not intended to be seen by the consumer. Typically, tertiary packaging is destined for a retailer's storage room or wholesaler's warehouse. It can be made from a variety of materials. Popular choices for many applications are cardboard and bottle cases.
Alternative Forms of Packaging
There are a number of alternative forms of medicine packaging which include sachets, bottles, cartridges, and tamper-evident packaging. These types of packaging are made of various materials. The most common are plastic and polypropylene. They are chemically stable and can be reused many times.
The type of pharmaceutical printing packaging used varies by the substance packaged. In general, liquids are stored in vials, while tablets are usually secured in strip packages. Similarly, capsules are usually packaged in blister packages. Pre-filled containers, which are easier to use and safer for patients, have also been introduced.
Bottles can be glass, plastic, or aluminum. Seals are often made of aluminum or cardboard. Glass is UV resistant and is recyclable. However, safety concerns have led to a drop in the share of glass bottles.
