1, inner packaging

inner packaging refers to packaging that directly contacts drugs, such as ampoules, injection bottles, aluminum foil, etc. The inner packaging shall be able to ensure the quality of the drug during production, transportation, storage and use, and shall be convenient for medical use. The change of inner packaging materials and containers (drug packaging materials) of drugs shall be subject to stability test according to the material of the selected drug packaging materials to investigate the compatibility between the drug packaging materials and drugs.

2, outer package

outer package refers to the package other than the inner package, which is divided into medium package and large package from inside to outside. The outer packaging should be selected according to the characteristics of the drug, so as to ensure the quality of the drug in the process of transportation, storage and use. What are the requirements for

pharmaceutical packaging materials

1, certain mechanical properties

packaging materials should be able to effectively protect the product, so it should have a certain strength, toughness and elasticity, etc., to adapt to pressure, impact, Vibration and other static and dynamic factors.

2. Barrier performance

According to different requirements for product packaging, packaging materials should have certain barriers to moisture, water vapor, gas, light, aromatic gas, peculiar smell, heat, etc.

3, good safety performance

The toxicity of the packaging material itself should be small, so as not to pollute the product and affect human health; the packaging material should be non-corrosive, and have insect-proof, mothproof, rodent-proof, microbial inhibition and other properties to protect product safety.

4, suitable processing performance

packaging materials should be suitable for processing, easy to make a variety of packaging containers should be easy to packaging operations mechanization, automation, to adapt to large-scale industrial production should be suitable for printing, easy to print packaging signs.

5, good economic performance

packaging materials should be a wide range of sources, easy to get, low cost, the use of packaging materials and packaging containers should be easy to handle, do not pollute the environment, so as not to cause public hazards.

What is the function of medical packaging

1, protecting medical products

Medical products have to go through many transportation and storage links from the factory to the user. During the transportation process, there will be damages such as vibration, extrusion, collision, sun exposure, rain, etc. During the storage process, there will be insect damage, rat bite, corrosion, etc. Even in the hands of the user, there are still storage requirements from the beginning of use to the end of use. Therefore, there must be good packaging in order to protect the drug from damage.

2, easy to transport, carry and store

medical products have different forms such as gaseous, solid and liquid, and their physical and chemical properties are also different, some are toxic, some are corrosive, and some have volatile, flammable, explosive and other characteristics. From production to use, most of the time is stored in the warehouse (from the warehouse of the pharmaceutical factory to the warehouse of the wholesale and retail enterprises or medical units), which need frequent transportation, loading and unloading, which are only suitable for transportation, carrying and storage. The vast majority of pharmaceutical products need to be moisture-proof, light-proof and heat-proof during storage, and some special drugs need to be shockproof and explosion-proof during transportation. Among the special drugs, drugs and dangerous goods need special packaging. Good packaging can make the quality of pharmaceutical products in the whole circulation process does not change, so as to ensure the realization of its use value.

3, guide consumption, easy to use

Drug packaging is accompanied by text instructions, specific introduction of product performance and precautions, can play a role in facilitating use and guiding consumption. In addition, according to the amount of drugs in normal use to be packaged, such as drug 1000 sheet pack, 100 sheet pack (for individuals), etc., packaging containers using pull ring type, button type easy open cans, zipper type packaging boxes, jet packaging containers, etc., and on the packaging instructions on the usage, dosage and taboos, but also for ease of use.

4, beautify the goods, promote the sale of

goods after the use of packaging, the first to enter the consumer's line of sight is often not the goods themselves but the packaging of goods. Unique, refined and beautiful packaging can enhance the beauty of goods, stimulate consumers' desire to buy, and act as a silent salesman. According to a survey by the British Market Research Company, women who generally go shopping in supermarkets usually buy more than 45% of their planned purchases on the spot due to the attraction of packaging and decoration. Therefore, the function of packaging is more focused on enhancing the attractiveness of products and promoting sales, especially OTC drugs, packaging is more important.

5, increase profits

The inherent quality of goods is the basis of the competitiveness of the commodity market, but if a high-quality product is not matched with a high-quality packaging, its competitiveness in the market will be weakened and its "identity" will be reduced ". And good packaging can complement each other with good products, selling at a good price and increasing the added value of products, which is more obvious in the international market. For example, ginseng, a precious medicinal material exported from China, used to be packed in wooden boxes of 20kg per box. As a result, the price was low, the market was poor, and it was suspected of adulteration. After switching to exquisite small packaging, the selling price increased by an average of 30%, and the sales volume increased greatly.
