Choice of material for blister pharmaceutical packaging is entirely dependent on the sensitivity of product from external elements like light, air, heat and moisture. Since every pharmaceutical product has individual degree of resistance, the type of storage and material are selected only after thorough tests and considering several factors. Those tests are performed during the stability studies, so as to identify which material is suitable for them. There are different categories and sub-categories of blister pharmaceutical packaging material, which are chosen as per their suitability with the product.

Reluctance to change: Change is difficult in any organization, and if the customer's views are not taken into consideration, then nothing changes. Also sterile packaged medical devices are expensive to validate making it the major factor contributing to resistance to change.

Sustainability is a huge driving force: In packaging medical devices and pharmaceuticals, it is important to be realistic about packaging expectations. Customers generally require high-barrier materials to meet their need to protect the product from oxygen, moisture, and light. The material in these packages is expected to have a shelf life of more than five years.

Cost Saving: Financial cost is considered to be among the major drivers for change in packaging, If it is reducing materials or looking at cheaper vendors, it is always because Blister packaging supplier is looking to save money and to be more environmentally friendly.

Patient Safety: In medical device packaging, the end user i.e. the patient is starting to have a much louder and prominent voice. This has an impact on sustainability, supply chain, and use of the product. There is a greater scope in device packaging for advancements than there is in pharma.
