Pharmaceuticals & Medical Devices
Packaging directly contacts the product and affects its quality. Especially in the pharmaceutical industry, which is related to human health, it attracts significant attention.
Below is a detailed introduction to the packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical and medical equipment industries.
Why do pharmaceutical packaging standards need attention?
Since packaging comes into direct contact with drugs and medical devices, it must adhere to certain standards. If drugs are not safely packaged, it can lead to harmful effects such as:
Improper storage causes changes in the drugs when they come into contact with the packaging.
The risk of chemical reactions between the drugs and the external environment due to poor packaging quality.
Absorption of the drug components by the packaging materials, leading to chemical reactions between the drugs and the packaging materials.
The purpose of packaging and its main functions are as follows:
Managing and inspecting pharmaceutical packaging requires strict attention to detail.
Packaging must also withstand mechanical impacts related to transportation.
Protecting the product from light, moisture, and other factors that could affect the quality of pharmaceutical products.
How do you evaluate pharmaceutical packaging standards and manufacturing facilities?
Here are some criteria for evaluating pharmaceutical packaging that meets GMP requirements:
The manufacturing facility must have a quality management system in place.
It should be equipped with adequate machinery and equipment inside the plant.
Workers must be trained in safety and hygiene regulations in the production area.
Strict guidelines should be established for testing incoming materials and ensuring the quality of outgoing products.
Workers in the factory are required to wear medical masks and protective clothing as specified. Additionally, periodic washing and disinfection of protective gear are mandated.
Automated machinery systems will operate in place of humans to produce sterile plastic bottle packaging.
Use of primary packaging materials such as thin film rolls or flexible materials adheres to GMP-WHO standards in the pharmaceutical industry.
Standards for evaluating pharmaceutical manufacturers:
- The cleanliness level of the packaging manufacturing facility must be equivalent to that of pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.
- Operations within the packaging plant must be rigorously managed for quality comparable to pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.
Essential equipment solutions for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries
Here are the essential equipment solutions that meet pharmaceutical industry standards:
Packaging machines for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries
The packaging methods for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries include: Stick pack, Sachet pack, Pillow pack, etc. These are ideal choices for packaging various forms such as powders, tablets, medical supplies, etc., in different bag sizes depending on the characteristics of cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and other product packages. The machines operate at high speed and have the capability to package multiple layers
- Refer to some types of machines:
- Pillow pack machine
- Stick pack machine
- VFFS (Vertical Form-Fill-Seal) machine
- Sachet pack machine
Pharmaceutical liquid filling machine
Pharmaceutical liquid and paste filling machines play a crucial role in pharmaceutical production. These machines are used to fill various forms of medicines such as syrups, eye drops, and spray bottles. They strictly adhere to safety and hygiene regulations to protect human health
Here are some of the highest quality machines available today:
- VMSRF pump filling machine
- Monoblock pharmaceutical filling machine
Continuous inkjet printer
Pharmaceuticals are one of the industries that require adherence to high standards during manufacturing, known as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards. These are mandatory standards for pharmaceutical and food production and packaging facilities, aimed at ensuring maximum quality and safety for consumers.
To comply with GMP standards, products must meet requirements regarding packaging information such as production date, QR code, expiration date (or best before date), LOT number, etc., depending on the specific product.
Metal detector for the medical device and pharmaceutical industries
Metal detector is a device used to detect metal contaminants or foreign particles in products, including both magnetic and non-magnetic metals.
Metal detectors play a crucial role in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, specifically:
- Ensuring product quality meets consumer standards.
- Helping businesses comply with GMP output standards.
- Enhancing product value and competitive edge of the brand in the market.
