In the pharmaceutical industry, we can broadly divide the two types of tablet packaging into blister packaging and skin packaging on one hand. The benefits of these two types are quite apparent, depending on the requirement and convenience. On the other hand, contract manufacturing plays a major role from custom formulation to distribution, including encapsulation, packaging and labeling of the finished products.
Let us consider each area more elaborately.
Blister packaging
One of the most important materials in this type is Polyvinyl Chloride, or simply PVC, which is a cost-effective material and easy for thermoforming. Some people term this type as unit-dose packaging. It is tamper proof, highly durable and transparent. In this type, a highly automated equipment allows heat-sealing process, which can display the products in several ways. Further, this process attaches the packaging to blister cards. Though this process is meant for only light items, it can be modified for heavier items by using clamshells.
This method of tablet packaging also has several other benefits. First, its protective quality is very high. It is child resistant and simultaneously increases the product efficiency.Tablet packagingContract manufacturing
