What packaging is the United States known for at wholesale?
The US leads in: aluminium beverage cans (Ball Corporation ÔÇö world's #1 can manufacturer; Crown Holdings ÔÇö #2; the US beverage can is the world standard format for soft drinks, beer, and energy drinks); pharmaceutical primary packaging (West Pharmaceutical Services ÔÇö rubber stoppers, plungers, and closures for injectable drug vials and syringes; AptarGroup Pharma ÔÇö MDI valves, nasal spray pumps, liquid dispensing systems for pharmaceutical applications); specialty closures and dispensing systems (AptarGroup ÔÇö beauty and personal care pump dispensers; Silgan ÔÇö food and beverage closures); flexible protective packaging (Sealed Air ÔÇö Bubble Wrap, air cushion systems, Cryovac vacuum packaging); and rigid plastic containers (Berry Global ÔÇö consumer and industrial plastic containers).
What are extractables and leachables (E&L) testing and why are they critical for pharmaceutical packaging?
Extractables and leachables (E&L) testing is a critical pharmaceutical packaging qualification requirement ÔÇö assessing whether chemical substances from packaging materials migrate into drug products under simulated or actual storage conditions (leachables) or under harsh extraction conditions (extractables). E&L testing is required by ICH Q3E guideline (in development), FDA guidance documents, and EMA guidelines for all primary pharmaceutical container-closure systems (the packaging directly in contact with the drug product). The concern: leachables from rubber stoppers, plastic containers, pump components, and adhesives can contaminate drug products, affecting patient safety and drug stability. US pharmaceutical packaging manufacturers (West Pharmaceutical Services, AptarGroup Pharma) provide comprehensive E&L test data packages as part of their qualification documentation ÔÇö making their products the global reference for pharmaceutical packaging regulatory submission.
