I tenei ra, the editor will briefly share with you what special secrets of aluminum foil blister packaging can quickly go to the world.
Packaging can be said to be one of the largest components of the global industry, with a total value of approximately US$280 billion. I roto ia ratou, the packaging of medicines initially only occupies a small part. Many early pharmaceutical companies did not pay attention to packaging and only regarded it as the last step of production. After entering the 21st century, this situation has begun to change, and many pharmaceutical companies will consider packaging earlier. Because with the development of the Internet and the improvement of people’s consumption concepts, drug packaging has become an important part of drug transportation and preservation and is used as the most important part of marketing methods by many pharmaceutical manufacturers. This situation has gradually increased the status of pharmaceutical packaging. I roto ia ratou, aluminum foil is the most core method of pharmaceutical packaging.
There are two basic types of blister packs for medicines on the market. One is that the conventional cavity is made of transparent, thermoformed plastic, and the covering surface is made of transparent plastic or a composite of plastic, paper, and/or foil. The other kind of production method is more complicated, which contains two or more kinds of aluminum foil, which is the basic component of the blister board, and its cavity is formed by cold drawing. Compared with the former, the latter’s status is slowly rising, becoming the mainstream pharmaceutical packaging method.
The most important reason for introducing blister packaging technology in the early stage is to provide patients with clearly marked personal doses. The purpose of this is to hope that patients can check whether they have taken the prescribed drugs on a certain day. Because the medicines are individually packaged, the medicines that have not been taken out are kept in the original packaging, which can fully protect the medicines from adverse external conditions. Compared with traditional packaging forms, blister packaging is more popular among people.
The demand for aluminum foil packaging for medicines is increasing day by day, and it will be required by people for a long period of time in the future. Pharmaceutical companies will also take advantage of this, relying more on packaging and labels as a medium to protect and promote their products and improve patient compliance. This approach saves promotion costs and complies with current drug regulations.
