    With the rapid development of China's pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical packaging industry has been a huge living space. To keep up with the pace of international counterparts to seize the opportunity to meet the needs of the age to establish the packaging concept, the local pharmaceutical packaging industry has become a top priority.


    


    Great gap with the developed countries


    


    According to Shanghai Pharmaceutical Packaging Ji Wei, director of testing, high speed, low efficiency, high consumption of extensive growth is the development of China's pharmaceutical packaging typical characteristics of the domestic packaging of pharmaceutical products in most developed countries there is a big gap between the quality. At present, China has 65% of pharmaceutical packaging products in developed countries has not yet reached the level of the 20th century, 80 years; the quality of packaging materials and packaging to the pharmaceutical industry's contribution rate is low. In developed countries, pharmaceutical packaging accounted for 30% of the value of drugs, while the proportion of China's less than 10%. Among them, the domestic large-scale pharmaceutical packaging enterprises with foreign devices, although the gap between the small, but in the software environment is not satisfactory.


    


    It is understood that for this gap are mainly three reasons: first, a lower overall level of China's pharmaceutical industry, pharmaceutical manufacturers the technology is relatively backward. Large quantity of China's pharmaceutical enterprises, but small-scale, repeated production of serious, low levels of enterprise management. Secondly, the long-term hospital sales of pharmaceutical products, mainly drugs sold in pharmacies only a small part of the total enterprise naturally very difficult to make great effort to reform in the packaging, pharmaceutical packaging to keep old faces a long time. Finally, pharmaceutical packaging machinery and materials, the technological level of backwardness of the quality awareness of employees is not strong, but also restricting the development of China's pharmaceutical packaging industry.


    


    Must pay attention to packaging design links


    


    Pharmaceutical Packaging design is easily neglected link. According to Ji Wei, pharmaceutical packaging design must consider two factors, one is security, the other is the national identity. China's pharmaceutical packaging design, there are still many problems, such as drug names and lot numbers using them standardize, drug use and the quality of labeling standards are not consistent with the use of non-standard terms, drug over-packaging, no instructions to design there is no national characteristics, with the culture of sexual and aesthetic needs of the public do not match.


    


    China Packaging Technology Association, packaging and printing the Commission that the Secretary-General CHEN Qi-xiang, pharmaceutical packaging design should also pay attention to humanity, should pay attention to simple, practical, and easy to operate and so on. But the current domestic pharmaceutical packaging design, a large proportion did not consider these aspects. These are pharmaceutical packaging enterprises must pay attention to and solve practical problems.


    


    To seize the opportunity to achieve development


    


    With the continuous deepening of China's medical system reform carried out medical packaging will take place behind a fundamental change in the situation. At present, China is constantly introducing and updating of medical packaging machinery and materials, pharmaceutical packaging industry will appear in a new situation. In addition, the diversification of types of drugs are also opportunities to pharmaceutical packaging industry in recent years, China's solid-type drugs, such as capsules, injections, medication packaging updates externally bonded quickly, the use of disposable plastic syringes for injection and application of packaging to bring significant changes, large infusion to improve packaging also moving toward composite flexible packaging bags and plastic bottles direction.


    


    According to the U.S. Flexible Packaging Association reported that in 2003, the world of basic packaging needs of pharmaceutical products increased by 4.2%, with a total of approximately 11.2 billion. In the ensuing five years, the medical packaging will gradually develop into a flexible packaging industry, the second largest economic growth. Experts believe that, in order to seize this opportunity, China Pharmaceutical Packaging should do the following: First, promote the use of drugs to speed up Liquid Plastic containers; second, accelerate the development of Chinese medicine plastic hollow container packaging, should be multi-application HDPE , PP, PET, PEN and other materials, and using injection blow molding process such as production of hollow plastic containers. In the hollow container mouth using electromagnetic induction aluminum foil sealing gasket in order to enhance the security protection for drugs at the same time, accelerate the popularization and application of Chinese medicine, plastic composite film bag.


    


    It should be said, pharmaceutical packaging in the next few years will see rapid development, the prospects for good, a large space. How to seize this opportunity is worthy of our pharmaceutical packaging business to go and think about. Ji Wei held that, first of all to enhance the R & D capability of enterprises to improve the grade packaging materials. After the giant pharmaceutical companies will implement the Group of purchasing, packaging materials enterprises this is a serious challenge, which requires pharmaceutical companies to look beyond packaging and implement go out and hold up the development strategy; enterprises should establish their own team, the development of new materials, new products, create an independent property rights of packaging products, and take fine packaging, green packaging road.
