Pharmaceutical Packaging
• It is a science of packaging and different doses form
which deals with safe transportation storage, stability of product and its.
Reach to the suitable customers in desired condition with minimum efforts in
suitable time.
• Packaging is a science and technology in inclosing
protecting products for destruction storage and sell and used.
• Packaging also referees to the process of design
evelvotion and production of packing.
• Pharmaceutical packaging of the economical means providing
protection identification information, convenience and stability of the
product.
Type of
packaging
1. Primary packaging
2. Secondary packaging
3. Tertiary packaging
1. Primary
packaging:-
• Primary
packaging material is covered the drugs.
• The material the first envelope the product
and hold it.
Example:- Strips, Blister, bottle, spray cane.
2.
Secondary packaging:-
• They cover
primary packaging.
• Example:-
Boxes.
3. Tertiary
packaging:-
• It is used for
bulk handling and shipping.
• Example:-
Cartoon, Containers, finally used for transport.
Components
use for packaging.
1. Plastic
2. Rubber
3. Glass
4. Paper / Cardboard
1.
Plastic:-
Plastic are group of substance of natural or artificial
origins contain chiefly of the polymeric of high molecular weight that can be
molded into shape by heat and presser.
• They are
unbreakable.
• They are lite
in Wight.
• It can be
transported easily.
Advantages.
• Less weight
then glass flexible.
• Verity of shape
and size.
• They are
unbreakable.
Disadvantages.
• Absorption
permeability to moisture.
• Poor printing
property.
2. Rubber:-
• Rubber is mainly
used for constructed of closer for vials transfixed bottle dropping bottle and
many other type of container products.
Advantages:-
• Water
absorption is low.
• Chipper them
synthetic rubber.
• Good resistant
to ozone water and sunlight good chemical and oil resistance.
Disadvantages:-
• Slowly
decompress highly temperature oil and solvent resistance is not very good.
• They are very
expensive.
3. Glass:-
• Glass has been
widely used as the drug packaging material
• Glass has been
molded in any shape, size, and thickness.
Advantages:-
• They are transparent.
• They have a
good protection for powder.
• Available in
variety of shape size.
Disadvantages:-
• Glass is
fragile so easily broken.
Paper and
Cardboard.
They are suitable for small scale and bulk packaging and
suitable for all types of pharmaceutical packaging.
Advantages:-
• Light weight
• Easily
available. • Flexible
Disadvantages:-
• May course
damage on transportation without external barriers.
• Most paper
packs are not reusable.
Introduction
to aerosol packaging.
Aerosol may be define as dispense phase system in a very
fine solid particles or liquid droplets disperses in the gas which act as
continuous phase these are also called pressurized dosage form.
Advantages of Aerosol
• Drugs can be given
by oral inhalation.
• They sterility
absence of air present oxidation of products.
Disadvantage of
Aerosol
• Aerosol costly
preparation.
• Some of
propellants are very toxic the coating effect of highly propellants make cases
this comfort on injured skin.
Classification
of Aerosol
Space
spray:-
• They are
finally divided spray having particular size up to 50µ.
• Space spraying
is the dispersal of a liquid fog of insecticide into an outdoor area to kill
adult insects.
Surface
coats:
• These are also
sprays but disperse particles are coarse with size up to 200 µ.
