The pharma industry is constantly evolving and advancing. We see new formulations for better efficacy, alternative user-friendly forms in response to patient needs - complemented by advances in packaging design, materials and technologies.
Pharmaceutical packaging is an integral part of a pharmaceutical product. It comprises the package and the packaging processes for pharmaceutical preparations. It may also be involved in the dispensing, dosing and use of the pharmaceutical product.
Product protection is obviously the most important function of pharma packaging. Pharmaceutical products have to be shielded from the damaging effects of the environment. Many formulations become unstable when exposed to air, moisture, or light, and therefore protection from these factors is necessary to ensure that the medicines remain effective and safe. Pharma Packaging also performs other functions that enhance the product experience.
