Competitive advantages of clinical packaging



Contract clinical packaging providers say they are well positioned to sourcing the necessary medical components and delivering them in a suitable pack for end users. They represent a valuable resource for clients to outsource traditional in-house activities, or companies who have a limited packaging and distribution infrastructure. All claim to provide effectively the same global services.

For example, Almac claims its IRT solution positions it as the top global player in clinical supply chain management. Rondo-Pak reports having an experienced and professional design team to assist clients in the critical secondary packaging selection process. “We work closely with the client’s process engineers to ensure the packaging will run efficiently on their designated filling equipment,” Bani says. “In addition, we can offer traditional printed packaging components as well as fully assembled cartons for ease of use and (the) speed to market aspects of the trial process.”

PCI offers “seamless support” from clinical to commercial. “Our ability to support clients in taking a compound from clinical development to commercial launch within the same organization and on a global platform provides substantial value to our clients,” Misher says. “We add value by bringing commercial considerations, insight and expertise much earlier in the development process, while at the same time providing a single provider and continuity of services for bringing drug candidates to successful commercialization.”

Sharp reports it is positioned to provide all of the key services that comprise the clinical supply chain. “By fully integrating these services, we are able to satisfy a wide range of customers who are looking to consolidate vendors,” Morris says. “We are also more able to effectively reduce inherent risks in clinical timelines by reducing the interactions which can be created by a complex network of service providers.” These services include, among others, comparator sourcing, clinical label design/printing, package design, clinical packaging, global storage and distribution.

Bilcare talks about the basic functions of packaging


Packaging is a domain where pharmaceutical companies cannot afford to care less. A minor negligence can wreak havoc to the medicines. This is one prime reason why Bilcare conducts extensive research when it comes to packaging. Packaging performs a few functions that are paramount for the safety and stability of the drugs and medicines. Bilcare highlights a few important functions of packaging:

1. Containment of medicines: This is the most important function of packaging. The design of packaging must incorporate the needs of the product accordingly. The packaging and containment must ensure that the medicine doesn’t leak and the material used for packaging does not affect or permeate in to the product. The packaging must also be strong enough to contain the medicines when handled a little roughly. This needs the packaging to be robust. The packaging must also not be affected by the content of the medicines. They should be non reactive to each other.

2. Offering Protection: The packaging must ensure that the product stays unaffected and potent even if exposed to influences like light, moisture, oxygen and mechanical damages.

3. Stability: It is extremely important to ensure that the content stays safe and does not react with the packaging material. Bilcare conducts various tests to make sure that the primary packaging material and medicines are inert towards each other.

4. Storage: Packaging materials have to be designed depending upon the storage of the medicine stored in them. For example, if there is a medicine that needs to be stored within temperature range of 2-6 degree Celsius, it is important to design a packaging material that can sustain such temperature conditions.
