1. Pharmaceutical packaging needs to have certain mechanical properties

The outer packaging of the medicine should be able to effectively protect the product, especially the medicine is closely related to human health. Therefore, the drug pack material should have certain strength, toughness and elasticity, etc., to adapt to the influence of static and dynamic factors such as pressure, shock, and vibration.

3. The material itself must have good safety performance

The toxicity of the packaging material itself should be small, so as not to contaminate the product and affect human health; the packaging material should be non-corrosive, and have the properties of anti-insect, anti-moth, anti-rat, inhibiting microorganisms, etc., to protect the safety of the product.

4. Appropriate processing performance

Packaging materials should be suitable for processing and easy to be made into various packaging containers. It should be easy to mechanize and automate packaging operations to adapt to large-scale industrial production. It should be suitable for printing and easy to print packaging signs.

5. Better economic performance

Packaging materials should come from a wide range of sources, be easily obtained, and have low cost. The used packaging materials and packaging containers should be easy to handle and not pollute the environment or cause public nuisance.
