2018 is about to enter May. By monitoring the global trend of pharmaceutical packaging, we have summarized the following 8 points for you.
1. The use of blister packaging continues to grow
Bubble packaging has always been on the front line of the battle for precise dosing. When taking medication in bubble wrap packaging, patients can better grasp the amount of medication taken (daily dosage and duration are clearly printed on the back of the packaging). The blister packaging has good sealing performance and practicality in protecting drugs. The packaging process of placing a fixed shaped product into a cavity and covering it with a layer of thin film material allows it to be customized according to product design. These advantages make blister packaging the second best-selling packaging for pharmaceutical products worldwide.
2. Pay more attention to child protective packaging
According to data from the European Union for Child Safety, the number of children under the age of 14 who suffer from acute poisoning due to direct contact with pharmaceutical products in Europe reaches 3000 annually. The pharmaceutical regulatory authorities are constantly pressuring manufacturers to take measures to reduce such poisoning incidents. Many manufacturers hope for innovative packaging and are committed to developing packaging that has more child protection functions, such as using opaque materials to make blister materials so that children cannot see the candy like pills inside.
3. The highest demand for plastic bottle packaging
Another continuously growing packaging in pharmaceutical packaging is plastic bottle packaging. With the stagnation of demand for glass bottles in the pharmaceutical industry, the demand for plastic bottles is constantly increasing, and now it is pharmaceutical packaging. It is expected that by 2020, the total sales of plastic medicine bottles worldwide will reach 20.6 billion US dollars.
4. Is the small bag packaging outdated?
The "survival" of small bag packaging in the pharmaceutical industry depends on how to innovate, such as the new "small bag" developed in collaboration with Bismarck Medical Packaging and Presto as a secondary packaging. This small bag features a pull edge seal with child protection function, and adopts a multi-layer composite structure, which is a strong barrier for protective drugs to isolate oxygen and moisture. This level of safety protection allows manufacturers to use lower cost barrier free blister packaging materials when choosing primary packaging materials.
5. Increase in usage of pre filled and sealed syringes
Transparent market research predicts that by the end of 2019, the market value of pre filled syringes will reach 4.98 billion US dollars. The main driving factors are the sustained and stable growth of the injectable drug market, as well as the many unsafe factors in the medication process caused by the packaging of drug bottles and syringes that can be avoided by pre filled syringes. More and more medical practitioners are inclined to use pre filled syringes.
6. Shelf influence and environmental protection have become more important
The Over-the-counter drug market tends to be saturated, and the competition between brands is extremely fierce. How to attract consumers' attention to product packaging on pharmacy shelves? For manufacturers, the ultimate goal of packaging is to strive for the maximum influence of pharmacy shelves with the least amount of materials. Especially with the increasing environmental awareness of consumers, manufacturers are more actively seeking to fulfill their corporate social responsibilities. Packaging materials are important, but to win with packaging, one must balance visual, practical, and material aspects in design.
7. Patient oriented packaging design

With the continuous improvement of the living standards of the Chinese people and the continuous improvement of people's health concepts, China's investment in the medical and health industry is constantly increasing, and the medical product packaging market is also showing a rapid development trend.
The concept of medical packaging bags
The medical packaging bag is composed of one side of paper and one side of plastic composite film, which is used for the packaging of sterilized medical devices. It belongs to the initial internal packaging of the product, and the packaging bag usually needs to print relevant information about the manufacturer or product of the medical device on the paper surface. According to EN868-5, the printing surface area should not exceed 50%. The alias includes sterilization packaging bag, disinfection and sterilization packaging bag, medical packaging bag, medical paper plastic bag.
Analysis of the Current Situation of Medical Packaging Bag Industry in 2023
Medical devices refer to instruments, equipment, instruments, materials, or other items used solely or in combination with the human body, including the required software; It is used for the surface and internal functions of the human body and is not obtained through pharmacological, immunological, or metabolic methods, but may be involved and have auxiliary effects.
As is well known, the medical device packaging market is closely related to the market size of medical devices. In recent years, with the continuous growth of the middle class population group, the rapid development of the medical device market has been promoted, coupled with the strong support and investment of the country in the medical device industry during the 13th Five Year Plan period. Moreover, with the support and attention of the government, the medical device industry will still achieve significant development.
Analyzing the root cause of slip in medical paper plastic sterilization bags
The surface of the unwinding reel of the medical paper plastic sterilization bag is not smooth. During the unwinding process, if the surface of each roll in contact with the roll film is not smooth, it is easy to cause uneven friction coefficient between the roll and the roll film, which can lead to problems such as slipping and deviation.
