Pharmaceutical Packaging Technology Pharmaceutical Packaging Technology Prepared by: Jalal Uddin Lecturer World School of Pharmacy World University of Bangladesh March 17 1 Definition The packaging can be defined as the economical means of providing presentation, protection, identification, information, containment, convenience compliance, integrity and stability for a product during storage, transportation display and until it is consumed or throughout its shelf life. Pharmaceutical packaging is the science, art and technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use. Packaging also refers to the process of design, evaluation, and production of packages. March 17 2 Ideal packaging requirements 1. They must protect the preparation from environmental conditions. 2. They must not be reactive with the product. 3. They must not impart to the product tastes or odors. 4. They must be nontoxic. 5. They must be FDA approved. 6. They must meet applicable tamper-resistance requirements. 7. They must not be the cause of product degradation. 8. They must be adaptable to commonly employed high speed packaging equipment. March 17 3 Functions of packaging 1. Product Identification: Packaging greatly helps in identification of products. 2. Product Protection: Packaging protects the contents of a product from spoilage, breakage, leakage, etc. 3. Facilitating the use of product: Packaging should be convenience to open, handle and use for the consumers. 4. Product Promotion: Packaging is also used for promotional and attracting the attention of the people while purchasing. 5. Marketing: The packaging and labels can be used by marketers to encourage potential buyers to purchase the product. March 17 4 6. Convenience: Packages can have features that add convenience in distribution, handling, stacking, display, sale, opening, re-closing, use, dispensing, reuse, recycling, and ease of disposal. 7. Barrier protection: A barrier from oxygen, water vapor, dust, etc., is often required. Permeation is a critical factor in design. Some packages contain desiccants or oxygen absorbency to help extend shelf life. Keeping the contents clean, fresh, sterile and safe for the intended shelf life is a primary function. 8. Security: Packaging can play an important role in reducing the security risks of shipment. Packages can be made with improved tamper resistance to deter tampering and also can have tamper-evident features to help indicate tampering. Packages can be engineered to help reduce the risks of package pilferage. March 17 5 Selection of the Packaging Materials 1. On the facilities available, for example, pressurized dispenser requires special filling equipment. 2. On the ultimate use of product. The product may be used by skilled person in hospital or may need to be suitable for use in the home by a patient. 3. On the physical form of the product. For example, solid, semi-solid, liquids or gaseous dosage form. 4. On the route of administration. For example, oral, parenteral, external, etc. 5. On the stability of the material. For example, moisture, oxygen, carbon dioxide, light, trace metals, temperature or pressure or fluctuation of these may have a deleterious effect on the product. March 17 6 6. On the contents. The product may react with the package such as the release of alkali from the glass or the corrosion of the metals and in turn the product is affected. 7. On the cost of the product. Expensive products usually justify expensive packaging March 17 7 Hazards encountered by package Hazards encountered by the package can be divided into three main groups. a) Mechanical hazards b) Climatic or environmental hazards c) Biological hazards. The only exception is theft, which can be a serious risk with drugs and may demand special protection in certain cases. March 17 8 a) Mechanical hazards: 1. Shocking or impact damage 2. Compression 3. Vibration 4. Electrical conductance 5. Abrasion b) Climatic or environmental hazards: 1. Moisture 2. Temperature 3. Pressure 4. Atmospheric gases 5. Light 6. Solid airborne contaminants. March 17 9 c) Biological hazards. 1. Microbiological hazards 2. Chemical hazards March 17 10 Types of packaging Primary packaging is the material that first envelops the product and holds it. This usually is the smallest unit of distribution or use and is the package which is in direct contact with the contents. Examples: Ampoules,Vials ,Containers ,Dosing dropper ,Closures (plastic, metal) ,Syringe ,Strip package, Blister packaging. March 17 11 Secondary packaging is defined as the packaging that lies outside the primary packaging. It is perhaps used to group primary packages together. Example: Paper and boards, Cartons ,Corrugated fibers ,Box manufacture) March 17 12 Tertiary packaging is used for bulk handling , warehouse storage and transport shipping. The most common form is a palletized unit load that packs tightly into containers. March 17 13 Apart from primary and secondary packaging, two types of special packaging are currently in use, as follows: Unit-dose packaging: This packaging guarantees safer medication by reducing medication errors; it is also more practical for the patient. It may be very useful in improving compliance with treatment and may also be useful for less stable products. Device packaging: Packaging with the aid of an administration device is user-friendly and also improves compliance. This type of packaging permits easier administration by means of devices such as pre-filled syringes, droppers, transdermal delivery systems, pumps and aerosol sprays. Such devices ensure that the medicinal product is administered correctly and in the right amount March 17 14.

There are several definitions available, a broad and commonly accepted definition is provided by the Council of Supply Chain Manage- ment Professionals and states: “SCM - Supply Chain Management encompasses the planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing, procurement, conversion, and logistics manage- ment. It also includes coordination and collaboration with channel partners, which may be suppliers, intermediaries, third-party service providers, or customers. Supply chain management integrates supply and demand management within and across companies. The loosely coupled, self-organizing network of businesses that cooperate to provide product and service offerings has been called the Extended Enterprise”.

  • Role of Stakeholders in Management of Packaging Waste in India
    International Journal of Applied Home Science REVIEW PAPER Volume 3 (9&10), September & October (2016) : 385-396 ISSN : 2394-1413 Received : 11.09.2016; Revised : 18.09.2016; Accepted : 26.09.2016 Role of stakeholders in management of packaging waste in India SURBHI CHITKARA AND SUSHMA GOEL Department of Resource Management and Design Applications, Lady Irwin College, Delhi University, Delhi, India ABSTRACT Packaging may be defined as “the container for a product – encompassing the physical appearance of the container and including the design, color, shapes, labeling and materials used”. Presently, packagingmaterial waste is being managed along with the municipal solid waste. Some amount of recyclable packaging wastesuch as paper, plastic, glass, metal, and cartons, is not picked up because it is soiled or directly buried under a huge pile of waste inthe bin or at the disposal site. Even though the major responsibility of MSW management lies with the governmental agencies and urban local bodies, there are other stakeholders which play a crucial role as well. These are households, businesses, industries, informal sector, non- governmental organizations (NGOs), community based organizations (CBOs), self-help groups (SHGs), secondary schools and college students. Involvement of all these stakeholders is necessary in planning of solid waste management. The stakeholders involved in the management of packaging waste involve - Manufacturers, Consumers, Government/Municipal Authorities, and Formal and Informal Recyclers. Each of these play an important role in creating an environmentally and economically sustainable society. The industry-owned Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) organisation should help the obliged companies to improve the environmental performance of their products and packaging by providing advice and information on packaging optimisation.

Counterfeiting is the practice of manufacturing goods, often of inferior quality, and selling them under a brand name without the brand owner’s authorization. Generally, counterfeit goods are sold under a trademark that is identical to or substantially indistinguishable from the brand owner's trademark for the same goods, without the approval or oversight of the trademark owner.

  • Introduction to Food Packaging
    Paper No.: 12 Paper Title: FOOD PACKAGING TECHNOLOGY Module – 01: Introduction to food packaging 1. INTRODUCTION In today's world, packaging is universal and important too. It surrounds, enhances and protects the goods we buy, from processing and manufacturing through handling and storage to the final consumer. Without packaging, materials handling would be a difficult, inefficient and costly exercise and modern consumer marketing would be virtually impossible. Most of the containers in the market today are used to protect a specific quantity of product during procurement, storage, distribution and retail sales, although several are also designed for bulk supply. The quality of the individual package depends on the nature, uniqueness and value of the product besides the prevailing social practices and legislation. The selection of a packaging, storage and distribution system will depend on existing economic ability, production and distribution efficiency, retailing pattern, consumer preferences and ecological aspects. Despite the importance and key role which packaging plays, it is often regarded as a necessary evil or an unnecessary cost. Furthermore, in the view of many consumers packaging is, at best, somewhat unnecessary and at worst, a serious waste of resources and an environmental threat. Such an opinion arises because the functions which packaging has to do are either unknown or not considered fully. By the time most consumers come into contact with a package, its job in many cases is almost over, so it is understandable that the view that excessive packaging has been used has gained some belief. The Packaging Institute International defines packaging as the enclosure of products, items or packages in a wrapped pouch, bag, box, cup, tray, can, tube, bottle or other container form to perform one or more of the following functions: containment; protection and/or preservation; communications; and utility or performance.
