Abstract
Packaging is one of the major sections of the pharmaceutical industry. The role of packaging evolves from time to time due to the new regulatory guidelines and scientific developments. Each product possesses unique properties. Depending upon the product characteristics, the packaging material may differ from product to product. The choice of the packaging material also depends upon how the drug is produced, transported, and stored. The basic purpose of packaging is to provide efficacy, safety, uniformity, and purity and minimize impurities to comply with the standards. This chapter presents sound knowledge about pharmaceutical packaging, most importantly the different types of material used in packaging of pharmaceuticals.
