TABLET & CAPSULE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS FROM NICHROME
Pharmaceutical packaging is an integral part of 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. PACKAGE FORMS FOR TABLETS/CAPSULES Tablets and capsules can be packaged in different packages using automatic packaging machines. The most common ones include: Blister packs: Formed solid unit doses such as tablets, capsules, suppositories, etc. are packed in blister packs. Blister packs are pre-formed plastic/paper/foil packaging used for formed solid drugs. The primary component of a blister pack is a cavity or pocket made from a thermoformed plastic. This usually has a backing of paperboard or a lidding seal of aluminum foil or plastic film. Blister packs are useful for protecting drugs against external factors, such as humidity and contamination for extended periods of time. Bottles: Commonly used for liquid pharmaceuticals as well as tablets and capsules, bottles are made of glass or plastic. For liquids, glass is preferred as it is inert and offers excellent barrier properties. However, plastic is also popular for its unbreakable, lightweight advantages. Sachets: Sachets are small square or rectangular sealed pouches, made of paper or some type of plastic material. They are most often used for products such as chewable tablets, cough lozenges, and some powder dosages. They are usually single-use with perforation so they can be easily torn open by hand.
