ABSTRACT:
Packaging is a crucial task in the pharmaceutical sector. It serves the purpose of protecting and preserving items and communicating marketing and regulatory information to consumers. In the past, packaging requirements only focused on maintaining the quality of enclosed products. Packaging has become a significant factor in the food and drug markets. It must meet criteria such as stability and shelf life, convenience and compliance of product use, prevention of product tampering and counterfeiting, ensuring product safety, and brand identity.
The packaging should have a calming effect on users, complementing the healing properties of the medicine. As the packaging industry continues to evolve, industries are embracing innovations in this field to improve patient adherence to drug regimens. This article discusses the various aspects of pharmaceutical packaging, including the materials used, types of packaging, and recent trends in the pharmaceutical market.
