 01 • Containers are objects which are used to store
Table of
various types of Pharmaceutical products with
contents
02 or without contacting physically with the
product
• The packaging of Pharmaceuticals is vital as it
03 provides protection, helps in identification,
improves the convenience in transporting, and
provides information about the content without
physically interfering with the product itself.
• Pharmaceuticals are highly susceptible to
degradation, and the quality of the
pharmaceutical products directly affects their
response and effectiveness. Therefore it is
essential to ensure that the packaging of the
material is suitable.

 Airtight containers

These containers prevent the

contents from dust, moisture,
and air. These are also called
hermetic containers. Airtight
containers have air-tight
sealing or closing, which
prevents moisture entry in
the packaging. These types
are commonly used for
materials that are prone to
degradation in contact with
air or moisture.
 Light resistant containers

Some materials are light

sensitive. They lose their
characteristics on exposure to
sunlight. Such types of
materials are kept in light-
resistant containers. They
protect the contents from
direct exposure to light. Many
medicines are photosensitive
and are stored in light-
sensitive containers.
 Multi-dose containers

These types of containers are

used to allow the withdrawal
of multiple doses from the
same container without
affecting the quality, purity,
or strength of the
pharmaceutical dosage. Such
types of containers often
contain multiple doses of the
product. These are generally
used for injectables.
 Single-dose containers

These are special types of

containers that are used for
storing a single dose of the
product. Parenteral products
are generally stored in these
types of containers. E.g.,
ampoules.
 Well closed containers

These are the common

types of containers used
generally in the markets to
hold the products easily and
in a well-closed
environment. They protect
the contents from loss
during transportation,
storage, handling, and sale.
 Aerosol containers

Aerosol containers are

used to store aerosols.
They are made up of
suitable materials to
withstand the pressure
required to contain
aerosols.
 Child-proof containers

These types of containers

are used to protect the
children from hampering
the contents. Sometimes,
the products are harmful
to the children and can
cause a hazardous effect.
To protect such products,
they are fitted with
closures that protect the
package from the children.
