What are the functions of pharmaceutical packaging

1. Protecting pharmaceutical products
During the transportation and storage process from the factory to the user, pharmaceutical products go through multiple stages. During transportation, there may be damages such as vibration, compression, collision, sun exposure, and rain. During storage, there may be situations such as insect infestation, rodent bites, and corrosion. Even if it reaches the user's hands, there are still storage requirements from the beginning to the end of use. Therefore, good packaging is necessary to protect drugs from damage.
2. Easy to transport, carry, and store
Medical products have different forms such as gas, solid, and liquid, and their physical and chemical properties are also different. Some are toxic, some are corrosive, and some have characteristics such as volatility, flammability, and explosiveness; From production to use, most of the time it is stored in warehouses (from pharmaceutical factories to wholesale, retail enterprises or medical units), requiring frequent transportation, loading and unloading, which can only be easily transported, carried, and stored with appropriate packaging. The vast majority of pharmaceutical products require moisture, light, and heat protection during storage, while some special drugs require shock and explosion protection during transportation. Special drugs, including drugs and dangerous goods, require special packaging. Good packaging can ensure that the quality of pharmaceutical products does not change throughout the entire circulation process, thereby ensuring the realization of their value for use.
