Benefits of Plastic/Polyethylene Packaging:

Sealable and air tight

Our packaging gives medical products an extension of expiry dates and ensures product safety and quality assurance.

Lightweight and compact

Pharma products are easier to store and transport when packaged with plastic packaging as it weighs very little and you are able to group and palletise products

Durable and moisture proof

Plastic packaging protects pharmaceutical items from moisture and cross-contamination, thanks to its strength and watertight structure

Cost Effective

Polyethylene packaging costs relatively little to produce, making it one of the most cost effective packaging options.

Versatility

Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is used for pharmaceutical packaging, and it is one of the most versatile plastics there is. This means it can meet a broad range of needs. Find out more about LDPE’s versatility below.

Polyethylene Packaging In the Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Industry

The medical industry uses plastics and polyethylene to protect products throughout the supply chain, making sure the items arrive at their destination, and in turn the consumer, in a safe and satisfactory condition. Packaging plays a vital role in ensuring medical items remain uncontaminated and fit for use by the consumer.

It’s important, then, to carefully consider what you and your business require for your pharma packaging needs, making sure you speak to an expert to get this vital component of your business right.

Things to consider for medical packaging:

Sterility
Breathability
Rigidity
Robustness
Size

Polyflex can help you throughout this process, from discussing your specific needs, through to providing a bespoke packaging solution.

Why is LDPE Plastic Used for Pharma Packaging?

Unreactive at room temperature
Can safely be kept at 80 degrees Celsius, and even 90 degrees Celsius for spaces of time
Resistant to acids and alcohols
Recyclable
Moisture proof
Touch and durable, making it impact resistant
LDPE is non-toxic and non-contaminating material
Versatile in appearance, available as see through or opaque

Can LDPE Be Recycled?

Yes! LDPE is recyclable. By recycling it, LDPE gets a chance to be used again in another plastic item. This reduces energy used in producing new LDPE plastic, helping to reduce greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere.

However, whilst LDPE can be recycled, it sadly often isn’t. This means many packaging companies use more raw materials in their production of packaging, causing further damage to the environment.

That’s where we’re different.

We use recycled and bio-based materials to produce our sustainable packaging. This reduces the amount of raw materials used to create new plastic packaging, and reduces the amount of polythene packaging that ends up in landfills.

Pallet Shipping Solutions for Pharma & Healthcare Products

In addition to a wide range of polythene products for packaging pharmaceutical and healthcare products, we offer a range of products to secure and protect palletised goods during shipping and storage:

For smaller shipments, we can also provide secure, custom printed or plain polythene mailing bags.

All products are custom manufactured and supplied to your own unique requirements and exact specification.
