Plastic healthcare packaging is a process used for packing drugs, devices, tools, and other pharmaceutical products. It is performed to store and safeguard healthcare products from biological contamination, material damage, and unfavourable exterior effects. High-density polystyrene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, or polypropylene are used to make plastic packaging, which is further impermeabilized by gas to make packaging for sterile products. To ensure the quality of the packaging material, several codes are used such as quality management standard (ISO9000) and pharmaceutical packaging materials standard (PSO9000). In addition, based on material term, it is of three types including primary packaging, secondary packaging, and tertiary packaging. Primary packaging includes caps, labels, bottles, cap liners, vials, ampoules, blisters, tubes, syringes, and inhalers. Secondary packaging system involves corrugated shippers, cartons, and pallets. Tertiary packaging involves cardboard containers, wood pallets, and shrink wrap.
