Pharma Secondary Packaging Content

The secondary packaging solutions for the pharmaceuticals industry is designed to streamline productivity, increase efficiency, and maintain product quality. Find out more about secondary packaging systems. These machines increase throughput and are flexible to accommodate diverse applications.

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, secondary packaging refers to the outer structural layer that holds and protects the primary packaging (such as individual blister packs, vials, ampoules, or pre-filled syringes) that directly contacts the medicine. This stage typically involves cartoning, tray loading, overwrapping, and case packing.

Beyond providing physical protection during transport, secondary packaging is critical for compliance and safety. It houses the mandatory patient information leaflets and provides the printable surface for tracking data, including serialization codes, batch numbers, and anti-counterfeiting tamper-evident seals required by global regulations like the DSCSA. Automated secondary packaging systems must be highly flexible, allowing rapid changeovers to handle varying carton sizes while maintaining strict compliance data and line throughput.
