The reduction standards for pharmaceutical packaging materials have been released, and the pharmaceutical packaging industry may usher in new changes

【Pharmaceutical Network Market Analysis】Recently, Shanghai issued the group standard
of "Guidelines for Reducing the Quantity of Pharmaceutical Packaging Tablets and Capsules".
Among them, clear requirements are put forward for the void rate and number of packaging layers of pharmaceutical packaging
.
It is understood that this is the first group standard
for the reduction of packaging in the pharmaceutical field in the country.
The reduction standards for pharmaceutical packaging materials have been released, and the pharmaceutical package industry may usher in new changes (Image source: Pharma Network) The standards introduced this time are mainly for Shanghai pharmaceutical enterprises to standardize, and many pharmaceutical companies have participated in the present, including Shanghai Pharmaceutical Xinyi Pharmaceutical Factory, Shanghai Squibb Pharmaceutical in China and the United States, Shanghai Modern Pharmaceutical, Shanghai Anbison Pharmaceutical, etc
.
Industry insiders said that the slimming of pharmaceutical packaging will provide more possibilities
for the future decline of drug prices while reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
On September 8 this year, the state issued the Notice on Further Strengthening the Governance of Excessive Packaging of Commodities (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"), which made relevant provisions
on drug packaging and specifications.
The Notice clarifies that medical institutions will be guided to put forward drug packaging specifications for different scenarios and types such as outpatient, inpatient, and chronic diseases, and guide drug manufacturers to optimize drug packaging specifications
.
The industry believes that packaging reduction can reduce the burden on patients, and from the perspective of medical insurance, it can make the medical insurance fund pay play a greater role and be used in
the actual drug efficacy.
For pharmaceutical companies, although packaging reduction has an impact on price profits to a certain extent, in the long run, it can make the pharmaceutical industry more standardized, promote benign and effective competition in the industry, and invest more resources in R&D and design to promote the transformation of
achievements.
On the whole, the release of pharmaceutical packaging reduction standards may make the reduction of pharmaceutical packaging a trend
.
In addition to affecting pharmaceutical companies, this will also drive the pharmaceutical packaging industry to change
.
Pharmaceutical packaging is a general term
for a processing process that uses appropriate materials or containers and uses packaging technology to separate (fill), seal, pack, label and other operations of semi-finished products or finished products of pharmaceutical preparations, so as to provide quality assurance, identification of trademarks and descriptions for drugs.
When new demand appears in the market, the entire industrial chain of the industry is destined to usher in more changes
.
Some insiders proposed that in the future, pharmaceutical packaging should not only ensure the quality of drugs, but also pay attention to product innovation, technological innovation and concept innovation
.
Among them, energy-saving and emission-reducing green products may become the main innovation direction
of the industry in the future.
The analysis believes that pharmaceutical packaging will be transformed to better recycling and extend the service life of products, mainly because more convenient, safe and sustainable innovative packaging solutions are the right way
to promote the development of the pharmaceutical packaging market.
It is worth noting that pharmaceutical packaging equipment has always played an important role in the packaging of drugs, so with the change of industry demand, the requirements of pharmaceutical factories for external packaging auxiliary machinery may also change significantly, requiring more environmental protection, energy saving, automation, intelligence, etc
.
In this context, only by continuous innovation can related enterprises keep pace with the times, continue to meet the needs of pharmaceutical packaging, and help the pharmaceutical industry develop
better.
