Top 5 Features to Look for in Pharmaceutical Packaging System

Pharmaceutics carry critical importance in human life. Every practice involved in this healing industry requires meticulous operation. From the course of treatment to the dosage measures and storage, every aspect is managed with the utmost precision. This precision is well reflected in keeping all the drugs from damage and contamination. How is this precision attained?

Pharmaceutical packaging plays a vital role in attaining precision in keeping all the drugs undamaged and uncontaminated. It deals with every process along the way starting from the primary packaging to end-of-line operations and warehousing. Considering the stakes and stringent regulatory standards, the manufacturers must operate with an efficient packaging system that ensures the safety, integrity, and efficacy of medicines.

How do you, as a manufacturer, ensure the functionality of a pharmaceutical packaging system? Below are the features to look for that'll help you make the ideal choice.

1.  High Precision and Sterility

2.  Versatile Packaging Solutions

3.  Pharmaceutical Packaging System with Track and Trace Solutions

The services of packaging solutions aren't limited to just packaging operations. There are several other challenges such as counterfeiting and supply chain transparency. To overcome these the track and trace solutions ensure that every packed product can be identified, verified and traced throughout the transport.

Nichrome Data Over Internet (NDOIT) offers partial or complete track-and-trace solutions right from the raw material stage to retail sales with software operations, cloud storage including real-time data and even the complete hardware i.e. packaging system for seamless product identification and tracking. 

4.  End-of-Line Efficiency

Automated systems for secondary and end-of-line packing processes such as cartoning machines, labelling and palletizing machines help reduce the operation time and scope for manual errors. This automation streamlines the logistics and distribution of products, maintaining the quality and ensuring the final packaging stage operations run smoothly.

Nichrome's end-of-line packaging machines are engineered to provide businesses with enhanced operational efficiency.

Nichrome Vertipack 320 for cost-efficient Pulses Packaging

In India, increasing population and growing use in the food processing industry are driving continuous growth in the pulses market. Pulses are a staple of the Indian diet, especially for a significant section of India's population which is vegetarian and relies on pulses for its source of protein. There is also a revived interest in pulses as they are considered healthier than wheat or rice flour, and are being used increasingly for making 'healthy' snacks, mithai, etc.

Pulses are marketed as a raw whole as well as dehusked split. For marketing of pulses, quality of product becomes of prime importance. Cleaned and well-graded whole grains fetch higher prices. For dehusked splits, better packaging is required to reduce post-milling losses and to increase acceptability of consumers.

Deterioration and losses of products, during transport and storage depend upon a series of physical, chemical, biological and human factors. Proper packaging is an important element in reducing losses.

Stand Up Pouches for Pulses, growing in popularity

While flexible packaging in general is the popular packaging for pulses, cereals and grains, the Stand Up Pouch has grabbed the attention of brands to better promote, protect, and drive sales of their products. From production to purchase, stand up pouches offer multiple benefits to both manufacturers and consumers.

The main benefits include:

Durability: Stand up pouches are prepared from extremely durable materials which cannot be crushed, damaged or smashed like glass, cardboard or paper can.

Protection: Stand up pouches offer excellent barrier properties, protecting the pulses from moisture, oxygen, light, odours, infestations, etc. and thereby improving shelf life. Puncture-resistant films can be used to safeguard your products during transport & warehousing.

Visibility: Through use of transparent pouches or window pouches, companies can let buyers see the contents of the pack, thereby inspiring confidence.

Branding: Through Rotogravure printing or flexographic printing, one can print bright colours and graphics to strengthen brand presentation and build strong visual appeal for sales.

Convenience: With add-ons like resealable closures, stand up pouches offer a better customer experience. You can choose from handles, spouts, tear notches, press-to-close, zip lock, etc. for added convenience.

Economy: Stand up pouches are cost-effective, low-weight packs that deliver substantial savings in distribution. You can store more packs in less space, and it takes less time, fuel and labour to transport it.
