Glass vials, ampoules and cartridges

The report’s authors defined pharmaceutical packaging as the process of providing protection, presentation, identification, information convenience, and compliance for drug products during storage, carriage and display.

Packaging was said to help manufacturers differentiate their products from those of their competitors. "Pharmaceutical packaging is an essential part of the delivery system of pharmaceutical products and the drugs in the pharmaceutical industry," according to the report’s authors. "Pharmaceutical packaging safeguards products from physical damage, biological contamination, and from all antagonistic external influences that can damage the products."

While various packaging materials can be used for pharmaceutical packaging – including plastic, paper, glass and metals – glass was said to offer a key benefit. "One of the major advantages of using glass packaging is the inert nature of glass, which does not let it react with the contents within, under most circumstances," it was claimed.
