In the oral thin film industry, special moisture-resistant packaging is required as oral thin films are sensitive to moisture, so the package selected adequately must preserve the integrity of the thin film product. Various packaging options are available for oral thin films, single packaging is a mandatory requirement for oral thin film primary packing, and an aluminum pouch is the most commonly used packaging format. CD Formulation delivers a comprehensive suite of primary and secondary packaging services that ensure that high-quality oral thin film products are on time.

What is Oral Thin Film Primary and Secondary Packaging?

The oral thin film primary packaging system is the material that first envelops the thin film product and holds it. This material is in direct contact with oral thin film products and can affect the shelf life. The main purpose of primary packaging solutions is to protect and preserve, contain and inform the consumer about the oral thin film drug product they contain.

The oral thin film secondary packaging system goes outside the primary packaging and is used to group primary packages. It provides the packaging that holds together the individual units of primary packaged oral thin film products, often grouping them into multipack units. Secondary pharmaceutical packaging is thus not designed to hold the drug itself.

Typically, the level of packaging a consumer will see first is the secondary pharmaceutical contract packaging which makes the appearance of secondary packages very important.
