The packaging material and equipment consists of a vast range of devices and supplies used for forming, filling, sealing, wrapping, cleaning and packing products used in medical institutions, hospitals, nursing homes and pharmaceutical industry. Packaging is considered as the science, art and technology of enveloping products for distribution, storage, and use. The main functions of packaging are to contain, protect, preserve, transport, and inform.
Packaging provides physical protection from forces such as shock, vibration, compression, temperature, in addition to offering barrier protection from external influences including water vapor, dust, oxygen, etc. The information function of packaging ensures communications on product use, transport, recycle, or disposal. Some information about pharmaceuticals, medical, and chemical products is required by governments under the law. Moreover, packaging is also instrumental in controlling shipment of counterfeit pharmaceutical and medical products. For instance, pharmaceutical products often include tamper resistance packaging to prevent or to uncover any attempts at tampering. Convenience of handling, display, stacking, and distribution, coupled with portion control are some other objectives that packaging accomplishes.
Use of packaging equipment and machinery on the other hand are the means to achieve the ends of effective packaging. The choice of packaging equipment is determined by many considerations such as the products, technical capabilities, maintainability, reliability, ability to integrate into the packaging line, etc. Some frequently used packaging equipment includes bottle caps equipment, cleaning, sterilizing, form-fill-seal machines, cartoning machines, etc. |
