Introduction • DEFINITION: • Packing:“Packing consists ofenclosing an individualitem,orseveralitems,in a container,usuallyforshipmentor delivery.This operation is mostly done by hand and machine.” • Pharmaceutical Packaging:“Pharmaceutical packaging means the combination ofcomponents necessary to contain,preserve,protect&deliver a safe,efficaciousdrug product,such thatatany time pointbeforeexpirationdateofthedrugproduct,asafe&efficaciousdosage formis available.
Types ofPackaging Systems • Primarypackagesystem:Made upofthosepackagecomponents • &subcomponentsthatcomeinto directcontactwiththeproduct,or thosethatmayhaveadirecteffect ontheproductshelflife. corrugatedshippers&pallets.
