interpack China 2026 - Shanghai World of Packaging Exhibition

Pharmaceutical Packaging at interpack China

interpack China brings together the machinery, materials, and systems serving pharmaceutical manufacturers — from blister packing and vial/ampoule filling lines to the serialization and track-and-trace technology. For manufacturers and packaging suppliers, interpack China is where blister packaging technology, sterile primary packaging, and compliance-ready serialization systems come together in one place.

Serialization, biologics, and patient-centric design in pharma packaging

Two forces are reshaping pharmaceutical packaging right now, and they compound rather than operate separately. The first is the shift toward biologics and biosimilars, which require fundamentally different packaging than traditional oral solid dose products — cold-form blister packaging, and sterile, high-integrity containment systems such as vials, syringes, and autoinjectors for drugs that are highly sensitive to temperature and contamination. This is driving demand for specialized glass and containment solutions distinct from standard blister and bottle lines.

The second is patient-centric design: packaging increasingly needs to support dose accuracy and adherence for aging populations and chronic-disease patients managing complex regimens at home, which is pushing blister and unit-dose formats to account for ease-of-use (child-resistant but senior-friendly opening mechanisms) alongside their core compliance function. Underneath all three trends, automation is doing more of the work - modern blister lines now integrate serialization coding, vision-system verification, and robotic feeding in a single line, because a single serialization coding error at line speed can halt production until resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pharmaceutical Packaging

1.What packaging formats are most common for pharmaceuticals?

Blister packaging is widely used for oral solid dose products due to unit-dose convenience, barrier protection, and improved patient adherence. Bottles remain in use for some formats, while vials, ampoules, and prefilled syringes are standard for injectable and biologic products.

2.What automation is used in modern blister packaging lines?

Current blister lines commonly integrate serialization coding, vision-system verification, and robotic feeding within a single production line, since regulatory requirements now demand real-time verification that serialization data is applied correctly at line speed.

3.What are the sustainability challenges specific to pharmaceutical packaging?

Pharmaceutical packaging — particularly blister packs and other rigid formats — has historically lagged behind other categories on sustainability due to strict compliance, sterility, and stability requirements. Industry is now developing recyclable alternatives, such as PP-based recyclable blister materials designed to be compatible with existing production lines.

4.What materials are used for pharmaceutical blister packaging?

Standard materials include PVC and other plastic films combined with aluminum foil lidding, chosen for moisture barrier performance. Newer recyclable blister materials are being developed to reduce reliance on multi-material laminate structures while meeting the same barrier and tamper-evidence requirements.
