Application Of Blister Packaging In The Pharmaceutical Industry

Mar 03, 2022
Medicine is a necessity of life, and pharmaceutical packaging is an important part of the packaging industry. The global pharmaceutical industry prefers to use high-transparency packaging and fixed-dose pharmaceutical packaging. The design of pharmaceutical packaging has begun to focus on humanized care and child safety, which can reduce patient medication errors. Among many packaging containers, blister packaging made by blister packaging machines has the most potential for development. The advantages of blister packaging are strong barrier properties, beautiful appearance, long shelf life, and convenient use.

Although plastic bottles are still the most widely used pharmaceutical packaging containers, occupying a large share of the pharmaceutical packaging market demand, especially in Latin America, Eastern Europe and the developing Asia-Pacific region, which are growing at a relatively fast rate. However, the plastic packaging of Chinese tablet products accounts for about 1/3 of the total packaging material market, and will replace other materials as the main packaging material for medicines.

The U.S. demand for sterile pharmaceutical packaging is growing at an annual rate of 5.4%. Among aseptically packaged products, thermoformed trays are growing at about 6% per year, blister packaging and blister machine packaging jobs are growing at 6.5% per year, and demand for aseptic bags for pharmaceuticals is growing at 5.7% per year. In the use of materials, PVC is still the main material for making aseptic packaging because of its reasonable price and excellent performance; the fly in the ointment is that PVC is not suitable for radiation disinfection and is not conducive to environmental protection. In addition, the current medical packaging bags tend to use multi-layer composite films to enhance the strength of the packaging. In the packaging of large medical blister packaging machinery, medical equipment and equipment, hard and wear-resistant nylon materials are mostly used.
