FAQ's

Commonly used packaging materials in the healthcare industry include plastics (such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and PVC), glass, metals (such as aluminium and stainless steel), and paper-based materials. Each material offers specific properties suited to different healthcare products, such as barrier protection, sterilization compatibility, and durability.

Packaging plays a critical role in ensuring patient safety by providing protective barriers against contamination, moisture, and tampering. Child-resistant packaging and tamper-evident seals help prevent accidental ingestion or misuse of pharmaceuticals, enhancing patient safety. Additionally, packaging that is compliant with regulatory requirements for labelling and product information helps healthcare providers and patients make informed decisions about product usage.

Key considerations in designing healthcare packaging include compatibility with sterilization methods, ease of use for healthcare professionals and patients, adherence to regulatory requirements (such as FDA or EU directives), and sustainability. Packaging should also facilitate accurate dosing, minimize environmental impact, and incorporate features for safe disposal.
