Pharma Packaging



The quintessential function of pharmaceutical primary packaging is to protect the drug from environmental influences, and at the same time to prevent harmful interaction with the packaging itself. The quality of pharmaceutical primary packaging is therefore described in relation to barrier properties, UV filter and hydrolitic resistance, and in many regions of the world is given a standard classification which is mandatory to prescribe as an integral part of a drug.

The comprehensive range of SCHOTT pharmaceutical glass types corresponds to the prescriptions of latest international regulatory authorities. For example, Ph. Eur., USP, JP and international standards such as ISO 720, ISO 719 and ASTM E 438.
Whereas our direct customers, manufacturers of pharmaceutical primary packaging, primarily appreciate reliable workability, their own customers, the drugmakers, focus not only on the question of hydrolitic resistance but also on issues of reliable supplies and risk management. SCHOTT has consolidated these expectations to produce a uniform quality SCHOTT FIOLAX® clear, one of the best quality special glass types for pharmaceutical packaging, at 4 different sites throughout the world.
