Pharmaceutical Packaging: Why Glass?

Due to the importance of internal pharmaceutical integrity, pharmaceutical packaging must be of the highest quality. So why is glass a better packaging material for your pharmaceutical line?

Unlike many other more delicate glass products, the thick glass used to make pharmaceutical packaging is very strong and not prone to shattering. This makes heavy-duty glass jars and bottles ideal for bulk shipping from factories to hospitals and pharmacies! The glass is also non-porous, so it doesn't penetrate the chemical reaction between the glass and the contents inside, so it doesn't create any nasty aftertastes or harmful by-products.

Glass can be completely recycled into other glass products with relative ease compared to plastic because while recycled plastic loses its structural integrity with each reuse, glass can be recycled endlessly without loss of quality! Our health services and drug manufacturers should strive to provide an example for the rest of us on how to responsibly use and dispose of the packaging that is used in large quantities every day, and glass packaging is a great way to do so.

Tinted glass can provide protection from UV rays, which can damage certain photosensitizing drugs. Amber vials are just some of our range of amber glass for storing your medicines.

Shaped like old-fashioned traditional medicine bottles, our amber glass cough syrup medicine bottles are perfect for packaging liquid products like cough syrup. You can buy glass medicine vials with or without matching caps, depending on your preference. Our glass vials range in size from 30ml to 500ml. All of these jars and bottles can be made of clear glass if you don't need to protect the contents from harmful light.

Unlike plastic, glass has an extremely high melting point. This means that during its lifetime as medicinal packaging, it is less likely to be exposed to extreme temperatures, even when used in extremely hot or cold countries, and it will not be reshaped like plastic. For aid agencies and charities, the ability to administer vital medicines to people living in extreme regions is critical!

All in all, when storing medicines, it would be wise to spend a little more on glass packaging rather than opt for cheaper plastic ones! If you want to customize a glass medicine bottle, welcome to contact us.
