Medical packaging is one of the most important supplies that companies in this field need to get. Not only is packaging important for branding and transportation, as it is in all industries, but it is additionally important in the medical field to ensure that medication safely reaches intended patients. There are many different types of packaging, depending on the medical product that needs to be prepared, so here is a quick guide to just some of them.
Bottles
One of the most common forms of packaging that pharmaceutical packaging companies produce is bottles. All liquids such as cough syrups must be packaged in bottles, and some pills are also packaged in bottles, especially when they are sold or prescribed in larger quantities.
There are many different types of bottles. They can differ in terms of size and cap type. Some come with parental control caps, which are to prevent children from getting into the medicine.
Blister Packs
Blister packs are another common form of medical packaging. They are more convenient than bottles and easier to operate for people with fine motor issues. A manufacturer needs to make blister packs that are properly sealed and have the right information printed on the foil. Manufacturers can also make add-ons such as instructional booklets and cartons.
Syringes
Medications that need to be injected often come in pre-filled syringes. This is the most complex type of packaging to manufacture and supply, because of the associated safety risks, so it’s important to find a reliable supplier.
