The New Facility in Clinton, Tennessee
Pharma Packaging Solutions has recently announced that its new facility in Clinton, Tennessee is now fully operational. The new facility is located seven miles from the company’s previous Tennessee location, which is in Norris.

The facility that is based in Norris was initially 48,000 square feet, but by 2012 it had almost tripled in size, where just 7,000 square feet was dedicated to office space.

The new facility will have the most modern security systems and develop a “best practices” blueprint that will help the company to meet both its compliance and sterilisation aims. The improved facility layout and structure, with the better product flow, means the company expects even better efficiency. These expectations include a 20% boost in primary packaging production including blister and bottle packaging, and a 25% increase in augmentation in secondary packaging such as assembly kits and repackaging.

Features of the New Facility of Pharma Packaging Solutions
The newly expanded site includes an additional 10,000 square feet, which makes the total facility space of 110,000 square feet.

The new building has washroom facilities and a quality assurance sample room, which includes four new clean rooms. All these rooms are claimed to be state of the art, as mentioned by Reid Lederer, the president of PPS. Mr Lederer. said that the company has improved its contract packaging capabilities while maintaining its equipment, staff, standard operation procedures, tooling library, and the procedures approved by the regulations. The president of the company added that the company is now equipped to provide repackaging, pharmaceutical bottling, knitting, blistering, and many more services to its clients, both in government and commercial sectors.

The new location will also increase the efficiency of the packaging process and allow the company to increase its packaging requirements and offerings in both primary packaging and secondary packaging products.

The Types of Pharmaceutical Packaging
The packaging of pharmaceuticals products is a major part of the overall drug development process. The packaging protects the integrity of the product and makes sure that the products are delivered and stored safely.

Pharmaceutical packaging includes items such as bottles, vials, boxes, ampoules, bags, blister packs, and cartridges. Each different type of drug packaging has its own advantages and disadvantage, so it is important to use the right packaging for pharmaceutical products. Normally bottles are used for liquids and powders, while vials are used for injectables. Ampoules are used for more sensitive products that require aseptic conditions, whilst bags and blister packs are often used for tablets.

Pharmaceutical packaging has developed a lot in recent times and now there are special machines and technology that make innovation of new products and packing processes smoother so the manufacturing of products to the delivery to pharmacy stores and the consumer is quicker.
