The Importance of Pharma Packaging

Pharma packaging is essential for keeping pharmaceutical products safe, meeting regulatory requirements, and supporting patient adherence. At Record Packaging Systems, we provide reliable packaging machinery designed to meet the needs of the pharmaceutical industry in the U.K. and Ireland. Our solutions cater to both prescription medications and over-the-counter (OTC) products.

Key Elements of Effective Pharmaceutical Packaging

Protecting Products and Ensuring Quality

Pharmaceutical packaging must protect products from contamination, moisture, and temperature changes. For this reason, our machines deliver airtight seals for a range of products, such as:

• Tablets and capsules
• Creams
• Injectables
• Medical devices

With technologies like vertical form fill seal (VFFS), flow wrapping, and thermoforming, we help maintain product quality throughout the supply chain.

Meeting Regulatory Standards

Regulations in the pharmaceutical sector are strict, and compliance is essential. Therefore, our packaging solutions are designed to meet the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) standards. For example, our machines offer:

• Serialisation to prevent counterfeiting
• Traceability to improve supply chain transparency
• Compliance with the Windsor Framework, effective January 1, 2025

By choosing our solutions, you can ensure your operations meet all necessary regulations.

Supporting Patient Safety and Ease of Use with Pharma Packaging

Patient safety is a top priority in pharma packaging. For this reason, we integrate technologies such as RFID and NFC tags into our systems. These features not only enhance safety but also improve usability by:

• Preventing counterfeit products
• Providing medication reminders
• Tracking usage to support adherence

As a result, our solutions make managing medication easier for patients.

Simplifying Dosage Control

Blister packs are a great way to make medication management easier. Our tray-sealing machines create tamper-proof packs for tablets, capsules, and supplements. This design allows patients to take the right dose at the right time with confidence.

Tailored Solutions and Advanced Pharma Packaging Technology

Sustainable Packaging Materials

As the world becomes more focused on sustainability, we provide eco-friendly solutions to meet these demands. For example, our packaging machinery supports the use of recyclable materials like cartonboard and biodegradable films. These materials help reduce environmental impact while keeping products safe.

Automation for Better Efficiency

Automation is an important part of pharma packaging. Our solutions reduce labour costs and improve productivity by automating:

• Primary packaging
• Secondary packaging

As a result, you can streamline your operations and reduce errors, all while saving time and money.

Customised Pharma Packaging for Special Needs

Certain products, like clinical trial medications or veterinary drugs, require unique packaging solutions. To address this, we offer machines that can be customised for niche applications. This flexibility allows you to meet even the most specific requirements.
