8 Trends & Analysis of Packaging in Pharmaceutical Industry

I saw an article a few days ago that briefly explained 8 major trends in the global pharmaceutical packaging industry. I would like to share with you one by one according to our domestic and first-hand customer demand & export data in recent years.

1. The use of blister packs continues to grow
As a manufacturer of blister packaging materials, I have a lot to say on this point of view. The demand for blister packs, as a small branch of pharmaceutical packaging materials, has been confirmed to be increasing. Its sealing performance is good, and patients can more accurately control their daily dosage and cycle (some medicines are packaged according to a 7-day-a-week tablet). Each drug is individually packaged and will not contaminate each other, which is why it has become the second best-selling package in the world.

2. Pay more attention to child-resistant packaging
In fact, the demand for protective packaging for children is still very small, and it is common in some developed countries (the main inquiries about packaging materials we receive are from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and other countries). For children under the age of 14, acute poisoning by direct contact with medicinal products is not uncommon because of their inability to distinguish themselves. As a result, local pharmaceutical regulators put pressure on manufacturers (mostly pharmaceutical companies) to take measures to reduce children's accidental ingestion. Common child protection packaging such as opaque materials, paper-plastic packaging (not easy to be punctured), plastic packaging bags with zippers, etc.

3. Plastic bottles are in the highest demand
Another growing category of pharmaceutical packaging is plastic bottles. Not only the pharmaceutical industry, but also many health care product industries have a soft spot for plastic bottle packaging, among which the demand for environmentally friendly plastic bottles such as PET bottles has surged. Plastic bottle packaging is now the most popular pharmaceutical packaging in the world.

4. Is sachet packaging out of date?
What is sachet packaging? For example, Lianhua Qingwen Granules and 999 Ganmaoling are packaged in sachets. The English name of sachet packing is Sachet packing or pouch packing. As a type of packaging (direct contact with medicines), it is mainly used for packaging of powdered medicines. Although in the article, the author said that packaging with sachets needs reform and innovation to usher in new development, and it does have a very low share in the pharmaceutical packaging industry (from a global perspective, the market share is not high, but in many underdeveloped countries, sachet packaging is still in demand large quantities), but flexible packaging brings great convenience to consumers in the non-pharmaceutical industry. Such as mouthwash in sachets, health products in sachets, etc. Due to its small size and light weight, it is very suitable for carrying on the go. And during the epidemic, this way of eating without direct contact with medicines (blister packaging needs to pierce the aluminum foil by hand, and bottles need to take out medicines by hand) may also usher in a reversal.

5. Increased use of prefilled syringes
The current injection method is mainly a separate syringe (that is, it is necessary to use a syringe to go to another medicine bottle to take out the medicine), and the prefilled syringe can avoid many unsafe factors in the medication process caused by the packaging of the medicine bottle and the syringe. , prompting more and more medical practitioners to prefer the use of prefilled syringes.

6. Shelf impact and environmental protection become more important
This category mainly refers to the second-class packaging (do not directly contact the medicine, generally refers to the carton, the outermost packaging bag, etc.). When a consumer enters a pharmacy and wants to buy a drug, what attracts him is the brand of the drug on the one hand, and the vision—the packaging of the drug on the other hand. Therefore, how product packaging attracts consumers' attention on drugstore shelves has become the ultimate goal of second-class packaging for manufacturers. This requires packaging to take into account social responsibility (environmental protection) and cater to consumer preferences.

7. Packaging design with patients first
The author of the article uses an example of foreign drug packaging, because it is a little far from our life and will not give us a personal experience. Here I give a representative example in China, maybe you will have a better understanding. In the cold medicine market, the competition is very fierce. How to stand out from this single category does require a lot of innovative design. There is a product that stands out with product design, and he calls it "white plus black". From the product point of view, he only did one action, that is, he took out the ingredients in the cold medicine, which are easy to make people doze off, and put them in the black tablets, and then packaged them into morning and evening tablets. The design is novel, starting from the actual feelings of patients, so that this product has occupied the market as soon as it is launched.

8. Packaging focuses on consumer engagement
Nowadays, QR codes appear on the outer packaging of many medicines, and you can scan them to get information such as dosage, storage instructions, or other information you want to interact with consumers. Perhaps these QR codes can also appear on a type of packaging, especially blister packaging, so that consumers can still know the drug information and dosage after accidentally throwing away the outer packaging or instructions.

As a supplier of pharmaceutical packaging materials that has always been export-oriented and supplemented by domestic sales, today we will talk to you about the differences in the procurement of pharmaceutical packaging materials for domestic and foreign customers!
There are several major producers of pharmaceutical packaging materials in the world, which basically monopolize the global pharmaceutical packaging material market, and each has a strong regional competitive advantage. Then China's pharmaceutical packaging materials go overseas, and even go to foreign high-end markets, what opportunities and challenges are there in the middle, let us take an inventory.
As early as before the COVID-19, after the trade war, production and the foundry of large factories began to move out of China, looking for new suppliers to produce large countries. Under such a premise, Vietnam's manufacturing industry has ushered in a new opportunity for development.
From the perspective of the international market, the world has entered the post-epidemic era since March. There are many rhetoric about China's manufacturing, China's export, and China's supply chain. Today, we will talk about the export trend of the pharmaceutical packaging industry after the epidemic from the perspective of a producer and an exporter.
As blister packaging materials with high barrier properties, PVC/PVDC film and cold form aluminum foil for pharmaceuticals are popular choices for pharmaceutical packaging materials. For the selection of materials, what factors need to be considered in order to protect the drug itself and be economical? Today we will briefly sort it out.
Cold-formed foils have been successfully used in pharmaceuticals, medical devices and in vitro diagnostics - point-of-care test kits for many years. The demand for cold-formed foils continues to grow and evolve as research scientists continue to create innovative solutions. Therefore, it is critical to have a good understanding of the specific requirements these foils need to meet, how to achieve the desired properties, and how requirements and material design affect the overall packaging design.
As a common packaging material on the market, blister packaging is widely used due to its superior barrier effect and independent packaging. But because blister packs are made of a complex combination of polymeric materials, including metal and plastic, recycling has been controversial. Can blister packs really be recycled?
As the popularity of vitamins and other health products continues to rise, health product manufacturers must ensure that their products are properly packaged to minimize consumption risks. But as a product in the middle of food and medicine, what are the specific packaging requirements for health care products?

The blister packaging of tablets and capsules that end consumers buy from pharmacies or hospitals, is often printed with various text descriptions, drug names, dosages, or just the LOGO of the drug manufacturer on surface of aluminum foil. These printed products all look the same, but in fact it generally contains two common printing methods. Today we will discuss how to choose the most economical and applicable aluminum foil printing method from the perspective of pharmaceutical companies!   First, let's sort out how these two printing methods are distinguished. 1. We can start with structure. Unprinted medicinal aluminum foil is mainly composed of three parts: protective agent, aluminum foil, heat sealant (from outside to inside). The printed layer can appear on the outermost layer of the protective agent (ink, primer, aluminum foil, heat sealant), or between the protective agent and the aluminum foil (primer, ink, aluminum foil, heat sealant). 2. It can be divided from purchasing channels. If the source of purchase is a printing house/factory, then there is a 90% chance that the printed aluminum foil you purchase will be printed on the outermost layer. If it is directly purchased by the source manufacturer, it is usually printed on the middle layer.   Then another question arises, what are the pros and cons of these two printing methods? We also have a deep understanding of it from several angles. 1. The degree of wear resistance of printing. The aluminum foil printed on the outermost layer is less resistant to abrasion. During transportation, if bumped or scratched, the printed pattern on the surface will fall off to varying degrees. Therefore, in terms of printing durability, the aluminum foil printed between the protective agent and the aluminum foil (protective agent, ink, aluminum foil, heat sealant) is better. 2. Printing MOQ. For the packaging of new products, the initial quantity may be small, and the MOQ of pharmaceutical aluminum manufacturers is usually higher than that of printing factories, generally 200-500KG. The printing factory's MOQ is around 50-100KG. Therefore, for the selling price that requires small batch orders, the quantity of outer printing is more suitable for the initial purchase of new products. 3. The cost of printing products. Printing with low MOQ tends to have a higher unit price, and the purchase unit cost of printed matter will also increase. Therefore, for the purchase of printed medicinal aluminum foil, it is necessary to consider the finished product and sales volume, and choose the most suitable printing method.   If you have questions about printing medicinal foils or purchase concerns, you can consult us for professional advice.
