Printing Various Types of Medicine Boxes
Design and printing of medicine boxes is one of the most important parts of drug packaging that plays a vital role in protecting internal contents and extending their useful life. Medicine boxes, in addition to physical protection of medicines against external damages such as impact, light, and moisture, also have the task of transferring important information such as usage method, expiration date, ingredients, and safety warnings. Printing medicine boxes with appropriate information and details (such as drug storage method and conditions, usage instructions, etc.) can help prevent usage errors and ensure better drug preservation. As a result, medicine box design and printing must comply with health and safety standards to preserve the quality and authenticity of medicines. These boxes, in addition to drug packaging, have various other applications such as food packaging, cable boxes, toy boxes, lamp boxes, toothpaste boxes, cosmetic boxes, and more.
Medicine Box Materials
Selecting the material for medicine boxes is one of the key factors in producing hygienic and safe packaging for pharmaceutical products. The cardboards used in medicine boxes must be resistant, hygienic, and suitable for protecting medicines against environmental factors such as moisture, light, and pollution. The most common raw material in medicine box production is Inderboard cardboard.
Inderboard cardboard, due to its smooth and white surface, is very suitable for printing medicine boxes and allows important information such as usage instructions, production and expiration dates to be clearly displayed. This type of cardboard has high resistance to moisture and impact, which helps maintain the quality of the medicine. Inderboard cardboard is compatible with international hygiene standards and is considered an ideal option for hygienic pharmaceutical packaging that requires adherence to safety and health principles.
Overall, selecting appropriate material and structure for medicine boxes directly affects product quality and shelf life and can prevent physical and chemical damages.
