How to choose pharma aluminum foil packaging materials

Western medicine tablets are currently one of the pharmaceutical dosage forms with the largest variety of medicines and the largest sales volume.

The packaging materials used for pharmaceutical tablets are directly in contact with the drugs and belong to the first class of pharmaceutical packaging. A drug is a special product, and its efficacy and quality are directly related to human health and safety. The packaging materials and structure used must ensure the efficacy of the drug and also play a role in ensuring the reliability and convenience of the use of the drug. Therefore, as a pharmaceutical manufacturer, when selecting packaging materials, it is necessary to understand some of the properties and characteristics of packaging materials and containers, so as to combine certain special requirements of drugs and select pharmaceutical packaging materials reasonably and accurately.

The blister packaging of medicines is also called blister packaging. Unlike bottled tablet medicines, the biggest advantage of blister packaging is that it is easy to carry and can reduce pollution during the carrying and taking of medicines. However, as patients who take regular medication, there is a large single dose, which makes the unit cost of blister packaging significantly higher than that of bottled drugs. Some pharmaceutical companies usually choose blister packs for drugs with higher prices, high technical content, and new varieties. Most of the packaging. The materials used in blister packaging are mainly “PTP” medicinal aluminum foil and plastic rigid sheets. Medicinal aluminum foil is a sealing material sealed on a plastic hard film. It uses hard industrial pure aluminum as the base material. It has the characteristics of non-toxic, corrosion-resistant, impermeable, heat-resistant, moisture-proof, light-blocking, and high-temperature sterilization. Plastic rigid sheet materials usually use polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), or composite materials. They have good barrier properties against water, vapor, and light.

Some basic principles can be followed when choosing pharmaceutical blister packaging materials
1. Matters and principles for the selection of medicinal aluminum foil materials: The purchaser first signs a purchase contract with the supplier before adopting PTP aluminum foil. The technical requirements of the product in the contract must be stated: product name, specification (width and thickness requirements), printing color, aluminum foil roll text arrangement direction and position; aluminum foil structure, adhesive coating amount, coating color is required, Packaging requirements, etc.
2. The basic principle of choosing medicinal plastic rigid tablets or composite materials: ordinary tablet medicines, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) rigid tablets can be used for those that do not require high moisture resistance. For medicines that require moisture resistance and oxidation resistance, or require a long shelf life, PET hard tablets, and PP hard tablets can be used. Composite hard films include polyvinyl chloride and polyvinylidene chloride composite sheet (PVC/PVDC) or polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene and polyvinylidene chloride (PVC/PE/PVDC) composite sheet.

The general procedure for selecting rigid sheet materials for pharmaceutical blister packaging:
a. According to the nature of the drug and the shelf-life requirements, choose which polymer hard film to use. For details, consult the technical experts of the drug packaging material manufacturer or conduct material tests. Full consideration should be given to the versatility of the equipment, the novelty of the appearance, and the lowest cost. sex.
b. Perform computer tests to determine the applicability of the pharmaceutical packaging materials to the equipment and the satisfaction of the product quality and appearance.
c. Do a good job of stability and compatibility tests, every drug must be done because the properties of various drugs are different.
d. Go to the pharmaceutical packaging material manufacturer to review related management content such as environment, equipment, process, and quality; jointly determine the raw material, formula, and material structure of the pharmaceutical packaging material, and the product standard of the packaging material with the pharmaceutical packaging material manufacturer, and The agreement was finally signed.
