Quality and hygiene are the most important features for the packaging of medical products. The packaging of food also requires proper hygiene but when it comes to medicines, the industry has stricter quality checks. Since medicines can be used to save lives, it is important to keep a stern eye on the packaging methods. Low quality material can react with the chemicals in the medicine and that can be very dangerous. This is why paper and cardboard packaging is not safe for medicines. They need to be packaged in something that does not react with their chemicals and offers protection against germs, air, moisture, and sunlight.
Since standup bags offer all these features, they have come up as the ideal packaging solution for medical products. Tablets, pills, powders, fluids, and syringes can be packaged safely in these pouches. This versatile packaging solution is durable enough to protect the product against minor shocks and rough handling, and to keep contaminants and moisture out. Since it is made by laminating together multiple barrier layers, it is durable and puncture resistant, and can be used to package needles and syringes. Its transparent packaging lets the user see what is inside.
Standup pouches offer enough area to print important medical information related to a particular medicine. It is important to print the chemical composition of a tablet on the packet. Since standup pouches have ample printable space, they can be used to print all the relevant information about the medicine. And if you plan to package kids’ vitamin tablets in these packets, you can use graphics and colors to make the packaging look more exciting and less scary, since children are often afraid of medicines.
If you want to sell tonics or other medicinal liquids, you can use spouted pouches for them. These pouches are easy to use and do not break like glass bottles. With glass bottles, you would need corrugated boxes for transportation. There is no such requirement for standup pouch bags. They are not fragile like glass bottles and thus need no extra protection.
Apart from all these benefits, standup pouches are also easy to dispose of. After using a needle, it is best to break it, put it inside the original pouch and throw it in the trash. From the trash, this pouch will be taken to a landfill, where it will take the minimum space as compared to other packaging mediums like plastic bottles or cardboard boxes.
