3. PACKAGING
Pharmaceutical packaging has to be carried out for the purpose
of the safety of the pharmaceutical preparations in order to keep
them free from contamination, hinder microbial growth, and
ensure product safety through the intended shelf life for
the pharmaceuticals.
Packaging :
may be defined as the collection of different components
which surround the pharmaceutical product from the time of
production until its use.

4. CHARACTERISTICS OF PACKAGING MATERIALS:
o Must be FDA approved
o Must be non toxic
o Must not impart odor/taste to the product
o Must not reactive with the product
o They must protect the preparation from environmental
conditions
4
5. ROLE OF PACKAGING
Protection
Against physical damage
Against biological contaminations
From all external influences that can alter the properties of
product
Identification of product
Convenience in use for medical staff and patient
A marketing tool
5
6. SEVERAL KEY AREAS THAT AFFECT
PACKAGING PROCESS
Packaging Material
Packaging Equipment
Packaging Line Layout
Training Of Operators

7. TYPES OF PACKAGING MATERIAL
Primary packaging material: material which directly
comes in contact with medicinal product
E.g.: Ampoules,Vials ,Containers ,Syringe ,Strip package,
Blister packaging.
7
8. Secondary packaging material: material which comes
in contact with primary packaging material
E.g. Paper and card board boxes
8
9. Printed Packaging materials: All packaging material
which have anything printed on it
E.g. labels, medicinal literatures
9
10. Tertiary packaging material : used for bulk handling ,
warehouse storage and transport shipping
E.g. carton boxes
10
11. PACKAGING EQUIPMENT
Packaging equipment carries higher contribution towards
the packaging quality of pharmaceutical product.
In case of older equipment, they have greater the number
of stages and lower efficiency.
In modern technology packaging equipment enhances
the productability as well as quality.
11
14. PACKAGING LINE LAYOUT
Layout of packaging line should be:-
Easy to access for operators, operational engineers, and
validation personnel
Perform line clearance between batches of product as
well as different products
Cleaning of the line is must be easy and controllable
manner.
Ability to manage quick change over.
14
15. TRAINING OF OPERATORS
Training of operators and engineers on packaging line is
integral part of equipment installation and qualification.
Supplier should identified training needs and provide
appropriate training.
It is important to periodically review training
requirements
Record of training and experience should be maintained.
15
16. VALIDATION
Packaging validation is establishing documented
evidence, which provide high degree of assurance that a
specific packaging process performed, will consistently
produce a pack, which meets predetermined
specification.
Validation must be performed by person with the
necessary education, background, training, experience
and qualification.
Validation program must be documented and approved.
16
18. PACKAGING EQUIPMENT QUALIFICATION
User requirement specification:-
Prepare prior to purchase of equipment
Specification includes
Purpose of equipment
Target production rate
Size & location of equipment
Safety consideration
Types of maintenance required
18
19. Design Qualification:-
DQ protocols is for conformance of the system to URS and
GMP requirements
Installation Qualification:-
IQ protocol is checklist to ensure that the system or
equipment is properly is properly installed.
In this engineering drawing should be checked and updated as
appropriate.
19
20. Operational Qualification:-
OQ protocol will challenge to system to demonstrate that it can
operate within specified parameters.
Challenge the upper and lower operating limits, to test the process
and system.
Performance Qualification:-
PQ should performed in normal daily operation
Testing of each piece of equipment
Test interaction between different pieces of equipment
Test all critical steps.
20
21. PACKAGING PROCESS VALIDATION
Packaging process validation is performed when new
product is being packed for the first time on existing
packaging line, using current or new packaging material.
Packaging process validation should start with
preparation of protocol called Validation protocol.
21
22. VALIDATION PROTOCOL:
Short description of the process with a summary of the
critical processing steps or critical parameters to be
monitored during validation.
Additional testing intended to be carried out
e.g. with proposed acceptance criteria and analytical
validation as appropriate.
Sampling plan:- where, when, how and how many
samples are taken.
Details for recording and evaluation of results. 22
23. TESTS PERFORMED BY MEDICAL LAB
Toluidine blue test:- for detecting seal leaks in porous
medical packaging by dye penetration
Visual inspection test:- for determining integrity of seals
packaging by visual inspection e.g. of defects: unsealed areas,
non homogeneous area
Immersion test:- sample is placed in a container filled with
water for 20 sec., it is verified that no air bubbles escape from
the sealing or the packaging.
Accelerated aging :- packaging samples are placed in the
thermo-regulated chamber at 55°C for accelerated aging.
During the whole aging time, temperature of the chamber is
monitored. After aging, the packaging are tested. 23
