Although packaging is a vitally important element in any area and sector of market, pharmaceutical packaging takes an special relevance. The safety of medications during the transportation and storage depends on pharmaceutical packaging. Indeed, the packaging must be tamper-proof avoid adulteration and falsification of substances with a direct effect on health. But its functions do not end there, since, in adittion, its design and functionality continue to be key during the use of the medication by the patient, since, in many cases, ease of use, correct dosage and prevention of medication errors depends on these. Pharmaceutical packaging is essential for patient safety and treatment effectiveness.
Therefore, its optimization is necessary, taking into account the following ideas :
- Choosing the appropriate type of packaging. Cardboard packaging respond to the special requirements for protection against light, humidity, heat or oxygen, and ensures the sterility and effectiveness of the medicine during its expected useful life, as well as avoiding its degradation and/or contamination.
- Normative compliance. Pharmaceutical packagin is regulated by legal provisions that stablish the requirements for containers, packagin and labels of medicines, their tamper-proof sealing, their legibility and their control against manipulation.
- Optimization of traceability and security. Packaging for the pharmaceutical industry must also guarantee its traceability and legitimate origin.
- Sustainability. Concern about soustainability is causing the pharmaceutical industry to take measures to reduce its impact on the environment. The use of certified paper and cardboard, as materials that are easily adapted to the needs of medications packaging, is ensuring that more and more containers and packaging are completely recyclable in all their elements.
We always insist that packaging is the first contact and the image of a product : in the pharmaceutical industry it is a fundamental element of direct communication between the producing company and the patient. Care in packaging instills security and confidence in the client/patient, in the paticular circumstances in which he need medicines.
