What are the points to consider when choosing a pharma package?

The type of pharma package you choose for your product will greatly influence elements such as light exposure, oxygen, temperature, and contamination, which are all important for the safety and shelf-life of the product. To ensure the best possible packaging for your pharma product, here are some of the points to consider:
