Market Overview:

Pharmaceutical packaging is used to protect a drug from exposure to environmental elements. It ensures that the product is safe for use, and its quality remains intact throughout its shelf life. A wide range of materials is used in pharmaceutical packaging, including aluminum, plastic, glass, and rubber. The materials are chosen with careful consideration to ensure that the drugs are protected. Pharmaceutical packaging also reduces the amount of resource usage. For example, the material that is used to make plastic bottles is typically LDPE or HDPE, which is both lightweight and able to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Plastic containers come in a variety of colors, such as amber and clear. They can be collapsible, making them a great choice for storage. Some pharmaceutical containers also have a lid made of aluminum foil, which can be used to seal them.
