Industrial Containers in the Pharmaceutical Industry

The Lynchpin to Success

The pharmaceutical industry is known for its unwavering commitment to precision, safety, and compliance. Critical to achieving these objectives is the careful selection of industrial containers. In this blog, we delve into the world of industrial containers, focusing on two essential categories: bulk containers like 55 gallon plastic drums or IBCs, and small packaging solutions. Explore the role these containers play in pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution while uncovering versatile options available at BASCO to meet your specific needs.

55 gallon plastic drums are workhorses in the pharmaceutical manufacturing process, offering a host of benefits:

1. Bulk Storage: These drums are perfect for storing raw materials, solvents, and chemicals used in pharmaceutical production. Their size allows for efficient storage while safeguarding the integrity of sensitive compounds.
2. Hazardous Material Handling: Pharmaceutical manufacturing often involves handling hazardous substances. UN rated plastic drums, designed with safety in mind, are ideal for containing and transporting these materials in compliance with regulations.
3. Durability and Corrosion Resistance: Plastic drums are corrosion-resistant, ensuring that stored pharmaceutical ingredients remain uncontaminated and chemically stable. Their durability reduces the risk of product compromise.

BASCO offers a wide range of 55 gallon plastic drums to cater to various pharmaceutical needs, ensuring your bulk materials are handled with care and compliance.

Bottles, Vials, and Jars: Precision in Pharmaceutical Distribution

Small packaging solutions like plastic bottles and jars, or glass vials, are the unsung heroes of pharmaceutical distribution and manufacturing, providing precision and versatility:

1. Vials and Ampoules: Small containers like vials and ampoules are essential for packaging precise doses of pharmaceuticals, ensuring accurate administration and patient safety. BASCO’s sister store, Discount Vials, provides an affordable source for glass vials, droppers, ampoules, and more.
2. Plastic Bottles and Jars: Small bottles and jars are used for liquid medications, creams, and ointments, ensuring controlled and mess-free dispensing. Wide mouth packer jars are especially proliferated in the pharmaceutical industry, due to their ease of filling, and wide chemical compatibility.
3. Child-Resistant Caps: Safety is paramount in pharmaceuticals. Child-resistant caps help protect young children from accessing medication while ensuring convenient adult access.
4. Jugs, F-Styles, and Cylinder Bottles: Ideal for containing liquid or powder ingredients, containers like 1 gallon round plastic bottles are perfect for pharmaceutical manufacturers. Paired with f-styles for convenient storage, and cylinder bottles for smaller portions, no pharmaceutical manufacturer is fully outfitted without these containers.
