How to improve the protection of medical paper film bags

Nov 22.2024

1. Double-layer structure design
The double-layer structure of Medical Paper Film Pouch is one of the important means to improve the protection of packaging. Traditional paper film bags rely only on paper materials. Although paper has certain strength and certain moisture-proof function, it is easily affected by the external environment when used alone, especially the pollution of moisture, oil, dust and other substances. In order to enhance the protective performance of packaging, modern medical paper film bags usually adopt a double-layer structure design: one layer is a paper layer and the other layer is a plastic film layer (such as polyethylene PE, polypropylene PP or aluminum foil layer).

The protective effect of the paper layer: The paper layer provides structural support and has certain air permeability, which helps the product to stay dry in the short term.
The protective effect of the plastic film layer: The plastic film layer can effectively prevent water and moisture, and has better sealing. For drugs and medical equipment with strict requirements, the plastic film layer can prevent the entry of pollutants such as moisture, dust, bacteria and so on in the external environment.
Through this double-layer design, Medical Paper Film Pouch can maintain both air permeability and sealing, thereby improving the storage stability of the product to a certain extent, especially for those drugs that have strict requirements on humidity and temperature, such as vaccines, blood products, etc.

2. Antibacterial and antiviral coatings
With the increasing importance of medical and health safety issues, antibacterial and antiviral functions have become one of the important characteristics of medical packaging materials. By coating medical paper film bags with antibacterial coatings or using materials with antibacterial functions, their protectiveness can be significantly improved and the risk of cross infection can be reduced.

Antibacterial coating: For example, silver ion antibacterial technology is widely used in medical packaging materials. Silver ions can effectively inhibit the growth of a variety of bacteria and reduce the accumulation of bacteria on the packaging surface. This is especially important for medical products such as vaccines and drugs that require a sterile environment.
Antiviral coating: In some special cases, medical paper film bags can also use coatings with antiviral functions. For example, nano coatings and copper alloy coatings have been shown to effectively inhibit a variety of viruses. In the context of the epidemic, the demand for this function has become more and more obvious, especially for medical supplies and drug packaging that need to come into contact with patients, which can effectively reduce the risk of virus transmission.
This antibacterial and antiviral coating not only enhances the protective function of the paper film bag, but also improves the safety of medical products, ensuring that the drugs will not be contaminated by bacteria or viruses during use.

3. Air tightness and sealing
For some medical products, especially those that need to be stored under certain environmental conditions (such as vaccines, insulin, etc.), air tightness and sealing are key factors to ensure their safety. Medical paper film bags usually use heat sealing technology to ensure the air tightness of the bag seal to prevent air and moisture from entering.

Heat sealing technology: Heat sealing is a common sealing technology that seals the opening of the packaging bag together by heating and pressurizing. Heat sealing technology ensures the sealing of medical paper film bags, which can effectively prevent pollution from the external environment, such as dust, moisture and bacteria in the air.
Aluminum foil layer sealing: For drugs that are very sensitive to oxygen and light, the use of aluminum foil layer can provide additional barrier protection. Aluminum foil can not only block moisture, but also effectively prevent oxygen from entering, avoid oxidation and deterioration of drugs, and ensure the stability of drugs.
These technical means ensure the safety of drugs during storage and transportation, especially for some special drugs (such as biological agents and vaccines), airtightness and sealing are important guarantees to ensure their effectiveness and quality.

4. Burst resistance and puncture resistance
Medical Paper Film Pouch faces many external physical forces during packaging, especially during transportation, the product may encounter impact, friction and other situations. Therefore, the burst resistance and puncture resistance of paper film bags are very important, which can prevent the packaging bags from breaking during transportation and ensure that the internal products are not damaged.

Burst resistance: Modern medical paper film bags usually use high-strength composite materials to enhance the burst resistance of packag

ing bags. The use of composite materials enables the packaging bags to effectively disperse external forces when encountering external forces and reduce the risk of rupture.
Puncture resistance: In response to the problem that medical paper film bags are easily punctured by sharp objects, some paper film bags use high-strength polymer materials, which can effectively enhance puncture resistance, especially suitable for packaging some sharp medical devices or special drug packaging.
This enhanced tear resistance and puncture resistance ensure the integrity of medical paper film bags during transportation and storage, effectively prevent the packaging bags from being damaged or the drugs from leaking, and protect the drugs from contamination.

5. Temperature and humidity monitoring and intelligent packaging technology
In order to ensure environmental control of drugs during transportation and storage, some medical paper film bags have also begun to integrate intelligent technologies, such as temperature and humidity sensors, RFID tags, etc. These intelligent functions can monitor and record the temperature and humidity in the package in real time, thereby providing more precise protection for the product.

Temperature and humidity sensor: Temperature and humidity monitoring is an indispensable function in the packaging design of some drugs with strict environmental requirements, such as vaccines and insulin. The temperature and humidity sensors embedded in the paper film bags can monitor the storage environment of the drugs in real time during the entire transportation process. Once the temperature and humidity do not meet the standards, the system will issue a warning to remind the staff to take corresponding measures.
RFID tags: Paper film bags with integrated RFID tags can not only realize the traceability function, but also help medical institutions better understand the transportation and storage of drugs through data collection and analysis, and reduce drug quality problems caused by improper environment.
Through these intelligent technologies, the protectiveness of medical paper film bags has been further improved, ensuring that drugs can be kept in the best condition throughout their life cycle.
