One of the biggest unfolding trends in pharmaceutical packaging today is the rapid growth of the so-called unit dose packaging, which is heavily reliant on the use of blister-packs to make the taking of medicine more convenient for the user, help reduce user error, extend the drug's shelf-life, protect the dosages, and even help prevent accidental poisoning. Designed to ensure scrupulous protection for each and every dose with separate, sealed cells or pockets, the blister-pack format offers key advantages to just about every important end-user along the route. For the contract packager, they permit one machine to do all the forming, filling and sealing. Health-care institutions will typically experience fewer dosage errors, thanks to the easily legible product information served up with each dose.
