Common machines include blister packers, counters, cartoners, labelers, case packers, and serialization systems. ### **What Is The Difference Between Primary And Secondary Packaging?** Primary packaging touches the drug directly, such as blisters, bottles, and vials. Secondary packaging protects and identifies the primary pack, such as cartons and labels. ### **Why Is Serialization Important?** Serialization gives each saleable unit a unique code. It supports traceability, recall control, anti-counterfeit systems, and regulatory compliance. ### **How Do I Compare Packaging Machine Suppliers?** Compare product fit, speed, changeover time, validation support, software, serialization, service response, and spare parts availability.
