The three main types of packaging are:
1. Primary Packaging
Primary packaging involves the immediate containment of pharmaceutical products. It includes various forms such as bottles and vials, blister packs, ampoules, and prefilled syringes, which directly come into contact with the drugs.
2. Secondary Packaging
Secondary packaging refers to the outer packaging that protects the primary containers and provides additional information. This category includes cartons and boxes, labels and tags, tamper-evident seals, inserts and leaflets, and other components that enhance product identification and information.
3. Tertiary Packaging
Tertiary packaging encompasses the outermost layer of packaging used for storage, transportation, and handling of pharmaceutical products. It includes shipping containers, pallets, stretch wraps, and shrink films, ensuring safe and efficient logistics and supply chain management.
