In previous decades, the main material for manufacturing pharmaceutical containers, specifically Pill Boxes or Pill Bottles, was metal and glass, however, in the 1960's plastics became available to everyone due to their low cost, so plastics had come to be considered 'common', as a symbol of the consumer society.
Since the 1970s, we have witnessed the advent of "high-tech" plastics used in demanding fields such as healthcare for the manufacture of various packaging and technology. New types and forms of plastics with new or improved performance characteristics continue to be developed.
Pharmaceutical packaging is more important than it might appear at first glance. They play a key role in ensuring the protection of both the product contained and the patient for whom they are intended to ensure quality, safety and reliability. Their functions are aimed at preserving the properties and qualities of the drug product to guarantee the health of the user. Within the different types of medicine containers we have Pill dispensers, Droppers, Pill dispensers, etc.
The Pill Box or Pill Bottle is a cylindrical bottle, with good mechanical resistance to load and vacuum, normally made of High Density Polyethylene Resin (HDPE) and polypropylene. Its use is, regularly, to pack pills, capsules or tablets of the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical or veterinary industry.
The manufacture of Pill Box or Pill Bottle is by blowing and injection in general, processed with HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), and in which solid medicines are packaged, whether capsules, tablets or pills, they are regularly sealed or closed with Child Proof (safety), Cap to Cap (vertical pressure opening and closing), simple threaded or with safety or tamper-evident band. There are different diameters of the mouth of the Pill Box or Pill Bottle depending on the type of medicine contained inside, commonly we will find mouth diameters of 24mm, 31mm, 38mm, allowing to preserve intact the properties and qualities of the medicine.
