Importance of Pharmaceutical Packaging for Various Products

 

Nowadays, Product Packaging plays a vital role in every industry. Specifically, In the pharmaceutical industry, for various sizes and types of pharmaceutical packaging precision and reliability are paramount. Manufacturers must ensure all products meet the drug manufacturing and packaging standards to safeguard patient health and comply with stringent regulatory requirements. Advanced technologies and rigorous quality control processes are essential to delivering safe and effective medications. Pharmaceutical packaging is the process of packing pharmaceutical preparations for distribution and storage. It encompasses all operations from production through the drug distribution channels to the end consumer.

 

Types of packaging

Three types of packaging are common in every industry.

1) Primary Packaging:

2) Secondary Packaging:

3) Tertiary packaging:

 

Types of Pharmaceutical Packaging:

Pharmaceutical packaging serves many crucial purposes. It stores and protects drugs, ensures easy identification, aids in marketing and brand promotion, and facilitates product use. Types of Pharmaceutical packaging comes in three types: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary packaging directly surrounds the product, while secondary and tertiary packaging offer extra layers of protection.

Types of Pharmaceutical Packaging - Primary Packaging

The most common types of primary pharmaceutical packaging include: Liquid Vials, Dry Powder Vials, Ampoules, Nasal Sprays, Eye-Ear Drops, Pre-filled Syringes, Dental Cartridges, Syrup Bottles. Sometimes called grouped packaging, it combines all the primary pharmaceutical packaging forms of a single product, such as mono cartons, corrugated boxes are Secondary packaging contains a specific number of units to optimize efficiency.

Secondary Packaging

Tertiary packaging, commonly including wooden pallets, plastic pallets, and shipping containers, allows for the efficient handling and movement of multiple secondary packages on a large scale. It shares similar functions with secondary packaging but operates at a higher capacity, ensuring stability, minimal space usage, and environmental protection for the products. Additionally, tertiary packaging must be compatible with machinery such as pallet jacks and forklifts to facilitate easy transport and storage.

 

Factors that determine packaging choice

Storage, processes and handling are elements where suitable packaging can indirectly save you money, whereas lower prices result in direct savings for your brand. To determine the appropriate primary and secondary packaging, consider your product’s characteristics: whether it is a solid or liquid, its overall weight, and the potential hazards if it is damaged. These factors form the foundation for selecting suitable packaging.

 

Sustainability

Sustainable packaging is essential for brands of all sizes. While plastic boxes and other plastic materials may be cost-effective and enhance packaging security, consumers are increasingly conscious of the environmental impact of such materials. With EU states and the UK implementing bans on single-use plastic packaging, it is crucial to focus on reducing, reusing, and recycling packaging materials.

Biodegradable Plastics: These plastics break down naturally in the environment, helping to reduce plastic waste and pollution.

Recyclable Materials: Packaging made from recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, and certain plastics conserves resources and reduces waste.

Recycled PET: Utilizing recycled PET packaging materials reduces the need for virgin resources and supports a circular economy.

Cold Seal Packaging: This energy-efficient method seals packages without heat, using a unique adhesive that bonds under pressure. Cold-seal packaging eliminates the need for heat-sealing equipment, offering more sustainable options.

 

Pharmaceutical bottles come in various forms and materials. Glass bottles are widely used for drug storage and are available in different sizes, from miniature to large, and colours, including amber, blue, and green. For added safety, glass medicine bottles often feature child-resistant closures. Additionally, manufacturers commonly use high-quality plastic bottles for pharmaceutical products. Glass bottles and plastic containers come in miniature, small, and large sizes and are available in clear, white, or amber colours. Manufacturers use various plastics for pharmaceutical bottles, including PET, PP, LDPE, and HDPE.

Pharmaceutical Packaging Materials

 

Pharmaceutical Packaging Materials

The most commonly used materials are glass and plastics. Choosing the accurate packaging for a specific drug depends on several factors, including the level of protection required, the dosage (which influences size), convenience and ease of use for the customer, the filling method, the sterilization technique employed, and the cost.

 

Glass has been used for decades and offers numerous benefits. Glass bottles are transparent and durable, making them easy to label and identify. They come in various shapes and sizes and are inert, providing excellent protection with a lower risk of interaction with leachable substances. Amber glass bottles are frequently used in pharmaceutical packaging because they protect drugs from UV rays, which can damage the product. The three types of glass used in packaging are, 1st ultra-resistant borosilicate glass, 2nd surface-treated soda lime glass and 3rd one is soda lime glass.

Plastic is incredibly versatile, offering advantages such as being lightweight, flexible, and durable, making it ideal for pharmaceutical packaging. It can be moulded into various shapes and sizes and is resistant to breaking. Common plastics used in pharmaceutical packaging include PET (polyethene terephthalate), HDPE (high-density polyethene), and PP (polypropylene).

 

Role of Standard Compliances in Pharmaceutical Production and Packaging

All aspects of pharmaceutical production, including packaging, are tightly regulated to ensure compliance with stringent standards. Uniformity, cleanliness, sterility, and other requirements are essential to maintaining Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Effective product safety management relies on a comprehensive Quality Management System, which includes validating compliance through detailed documentation. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is an established methodology for risk management. Quality assurance extends beyond packaging to include distribution and cold chain management, with Good Distribution Practice (GDP) often being a regulatory requirement. Additionally, track and trace systems are typically required to ensure product integrity throughout the supply chain.

The most important piece of the entire bottling line is without a doubt the Bottle filling Machine. This component is the only machine that has direct contact with the finished product and must therefore ensure maximum reliability in terms of hygiene and quality of the end product. This means preserving it’s the product’s characteristics during the filling phase and being easy to clean or when in contact with products that are particularly sensitive to contamination, being easily sterilized.

 

During the filling phase, liquid products to be packaged can be foamy, dense, creamy, fluid, powder or granules. They are delivered in special package types such as bottles, vials, pots, jars, cans, tanks, buckets, tins, bags, sacks or bag-in-boxes.

 

There are different filling processes (negative pressure, gravity, isobaric) that utilize different types of fillers, including volumetric fillers with batching syringes, gravity fillers with electronic or mechanical weighing units, and negative pressure fillers at constant levels (suitable only for very rigid recipients). The machines are set and calibrated to help ensure flawless operation and exceptional precision.

 

Frequently, new juice bar or wholesale juice business owners ask about investing in an automated bottle filler. I purchased a two-head, table-top bottle filler for our juicing kitchen a while ago to stock it as part of our product line. After some time I learned that it probably doesn’t make sense for a small juice business to invest in a bottle filler until you’re filling thousands of bottles per day. I’ll explain why below. If you’ve had a different experience, let our readers know in the comments.

 

Labour Cost

Intuitively, one would think that labour costs go down after implementing a bottle-filling machine. I was surprised to learn that that’s most likely not the case for a small operation. The small bottle fillers are of the “semi-automatic” type. The user stands near the filler, manually places bottles under the spouts, and presses a foot pedal to initiate the filling process. The filling machine then fills the bottles. Once the process is done, the user moves the full bottles to the side and puts new bottles under the spouts and starts the process again.

Essentially what this means is that you still need a person working full-time to fill bottles, and it isn’t going to be much (if at all) faster. A skilled employee can fill hundreds of bottles per hour with a pitcher of juice and a funnel for filling the bottles without the help of a machine.

Part of the reason that we can fill juice bottles so quickly by hand is that the standard cold-pressed juice bottles we use tend to be easy to fill. A 12 Oz or 16 Oz bottle with a wide mouth is very easy to pour into with a funnel. You can line up 20 empty bottles and just go right down the line pouring into them. If the bottle you chose had a small opening, it may make more sense to use a machine.

Another point regarding labor costs is that the filling machine system must be cleaned regularly which adds a step to your daily juicing process.

 

Waste

Since a bottle filler requires tanks and tubing/hoses to work, there will be some juice left in the system when you’re finished filling bottles. There’s simply no way to get it out other than to flush the system with water, which mixes with the juice and becomes a by-product that needs to be discarded or re-purposed. The system also has to be cleaned, which adds extra labour to your daily juicing process.

 

When it makes sense to buy a bottle filler?

At some point, it makes sense to invest in an automated filling line. When your business is big enough to justify spending $200k on a fully automated filling line, you will see massive savings in labor and that investment will pay for itself in a very short amount of time.

Imagine going from 4-5 full-time employees filling thousands of bottles per day down to a single person only spending part of their time operating the bottle filler, while they spend the rest of their time managing other parts of the operation. There will still be some wasted product which is unfortunate, but the wasted juice is proportionally a much smaller amount when dealing with large volumes and the cost is minimal.

While they may be among the last considerations in a liquid filling line, labelling machines are also one of the most important. If one of your goals as a business is to appeal to your audience with high-quality labels featuring original logos, graphics, and text, a labeller is crucial for your production line. In many cases, liquid products will need unique packaging and labelling designs to stand out on the shelves and attract consumers.

Benefits of Installing Labelling Equipment

There are several benefits that a packaging line will experience with high-quality labelling machines. One of these is increased efficiency since today’s labelling equipment is designed to print complex graphics and text at a faster rate and with better quality than older models. The demands of a high-speed bulk production line can be easily met with the use of one or more labellers.

Money can also be saved through labelling machines combined with cost-effective printing materials. With the right labelling machine from the right manufacturer and seller, frequent repairs and breakdowns can be avoided that might be experienced with low-quality labelling systems. Many of today’s labellers also can print on a variety of materials, including paper and mylar, helping determine which material is best to maintain both quality and affordability.

Automation of production lines is another benefit of using labellers, in addition to automatic liquid fillers, conveyors, and other packaging equipment that can keep processes moving along at the most productive rate.

Types of Labelling Systems

There are several types of labellers available for production lines based on their specific needs.

Horizontal wrap labelers. These are typically utilized for labelling unstable round containers such as vials with rounded bottoms. Items are placed on a horizontal roller, which then runs them through a wrap station.

Vertical wrap labellers. Vertical labellers are normally used for a variety of bottles, including slightly tapered bottles and stable square or rectangular bottles that won’t easily trip during transfers. Partial and full labels are available for these labelling machines. It’s among the most popular options.

Front and back labelers. Use these labellers to place labels on one or two sides, or in some cases with some modification, three sides of either oval, flat, round, or rectangular bottles. However, like vertical wrap labellers, bottles need to be stable enough to avoid tripping while being transported on conveyors.

Top labelers. This type of labeller is suitable for a variety of applications, including everything from electronics to edibles. It works by placing a panel or spot label on the top of a product that passes, such as a wide round jar lid.

Top and bottom labelers. These are used to label flat containers that require both a top and bottom label, such as a tray with a UPC label on the bottom and a product label on the top.
Print and apply labellers. Configurations for these may be used for a variety of containers including bottles, cartons, and cases.

Custom labelling equipment. In some cases, companies may be able to create a custom configuration for a labeller if needs aren’t compatible with standard labellers.

How to Select the Right Labeler

When trying to find the best filler to install in the filling line, it’s important to consider the different factors that go into a purchase.

Sizes and shapes. One of the first things to consider is the size and shape of the containers and the corresponding parameters of the label, which help determine which type of labeler can meet these criteria. While some labellers may be more versatile and accommodate a variety of widths, lengths, and shapes, others may only be suitable for handling specific sizes and shapes.
