We take medication every day. This may be a simple painkiller or a prescription drug. But while we experience the benefits of medications, packaging is often not considered. Unless, of course, something goes wrong, such as damaged packaging or a blister that is difficult to open. Ecobliss ensures that medications are packaged in the most user-friendly and safe way possible. How they do that? In this blog, we explain it to you.
Safety and protection of medication
It may sound like a given, but the safety and protection of medication are vital. Medications must be properly packaged to ensure their effectiveness and safety. Why is this so important? When medications are not properly sealed, bacteria, moisture and other harmful substances can enter the container. This can reduce the effectiveness of the medicine, but in some cases can even lead to serious health risks.
Consider antibiotics, for example: if the packaging is not sealed properly and moisture or bacteria enter, the drug may be less effective. This increases the risk of infection. For medications administered through the skin or eyes, contaminated packaging can even lead to serious infections.
Another risk is that children may come in contact with inappropriate medication. This is a major concern for parents and caregivers.
If a package is not sufficiently safe, children may inadvertently ingest medications that are harmful to them. This can lead to poisoning, overdoses and, in severe cases, hospitalizations. Therefore, it is critical that medications are properly protected through safe and child-resistant packaging.
Seniors and the challenge of opening
On the other end of the spectrum are seniors, who often face a different problem: opening packaging. With an aging population, it is essential that medication packaging be user-friendly for this target group. Many seniors have difficulty opening traditional blister packs, which can be difficult to handle due to reduced hand strength or mobility. This can lead to medications not being taken on time, or worse, the packaging being damaged, causing the medication to lose its effectiveness.
Ecobliss addresses this problem by designing packaging that is both safe and easy to open, even for the elderly with limited hand strength.
A good example of this is the Locked4Kids platform, which not only provides child-safe packaging, but also provides an easy-to-open system for adults, including seniors. It strikes a perfect balance between security and usability, which is essential to many people’s medication experience.
Sustainability matters
Packaging is an essential part of the pharmaceutical industry, and as with any product produced in large quantities, it is important to consider the impact on the environment. Millions of drug packaging products are manufactured every day, which can have a significant impact on nature. Ecobliss plays a leading role in this by focusing on sustainability without sacrificing the safety and effectiveness of the packaging. An important example of this is the cold seal packaging machine. This machine uses a cold seal method to seal medicine packaging, which is not only more energy efficient than traditional methods, but also minimizes the use of harmful chemicals and heat. The result? Packaging that keeps medication safe while reducing environmental impact.
In addition, many of Ecobliss’ packages are designed to be easily recycled. This reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and allows the materials to have a second life instead of being thrown away.
Ecobliss packs more than medical goods
Ecobliss has established itself as a leader in the pharmaceutical packaging industry, but the company is not only active in the healthcare industry. Ecobliss also plays an important role in the retail sector in developing innovative packaging solutions. Think packaging for consumer goods that is both user-friendly and attractive to the end consumer. The company offers a wide range of packaging for the retail market, from blister packs for small electronics to protective packaging for fragile products. Ecobliss Retail ensures that these packages are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also meet sustainability and safety requirements. It offers customized solutions that can help improve the user experience and reduce the products’ carbon footprint.
Ecobliss’ technological advances mean that both the pharmaceutical and retail sectors can benefit from safe, sustainable and user-friendly packaging solutions. This benefits not only the companies using the packaging, but also the consumers who come into contact with it. With a combination of innovative technologies, attention to sustainability and user-friendly solutions, Ecobliss continues to be a major player in the packaging industry. The future of packaging is safe, sustainable and user-friendly, and Ecobliss is at the forefront of this movement.
