PHARMACEUTICAL PACKAGING
Pharmaceutical products are typically susceptible to the damaging effects of moisture. As such, it is imperative to use the right pharmaceutical packaging products, whether they are being transported or simply stored. From our selection of desiccants, moisture barrier bags and shrink-wrap, we at Protective Packaging Corporation have the experience to provide you with the packaging solutions your company needs.
Pharmaceutical grade desiccants, such as silica gel, are an excellent way to control moisture levels. Although it is referred to as a gel, silica gel is actually an extremely porous and granular form of silica derived synthetically from sodium silicate. Completely non-toxic, it is one of the most effective and safest ways to protect not only pharmaceuticals, but also food and sensitive materials such as film and electronics.
At Protective Packaging Corporation, we also offer useful items such as indicating silica gel and humidity indicator cards. Indicating silica gel simply provides a built-in humidity gauge. The desiccant literally changes color as it absorbs moisture. Humidity indicator cards are exactly as their name describes - cards that are placed within a package to monitor the current levels of humidity. These cards also use a simple color-coded system.
Moisture barrier bags are another effective pharmaceutical packaging product. Such materials are only necessary if there is a need to completely eliminate any moisture from getting to the product. If used in combination with a desiccant such as silica gel, it is the only way to guarantee moisture will be kept at bay. Nevertheless, since every company has different needs, we believe in working closely with each of our customers to determine a customized solution.
