Frequently Asked Questions
Secondary packaging refers to the outer packaging used to group or protect primary packages, components, labware, and devices during storage, transportation, or distribution. Common examples are: cartons, shrink wraps, trays, or corrugated boxes that contain multiple primary containers such as vials, bottles, or syringes.
The FDA requires that secondary packaging for pharmaceutical and medical products ensures product integrity, proper labeling, and traceability throughout the supply chain. Packaging materials must not compromise product safety, and all labeling must be clear, accurate, and compliant with applicable regulations such as 21 CFR Part 211.
Additionally, when used for certified particulate clean or sterile RTU products, secondary packaging must be handled and assembled in controlled environments that meet ISO clean-room standards to prevent contamination and maintain sterility.
The main difference lies in the function each packaging layer serves.
Primary packaging directly encloses and protects the drug product, diagnostic content, or sample itself, and are typically vials, ampoules, or bottles, providing the first level of product containment and sterility.
Secondary packaging consists of wraps, bags, pouches, trays, and cartons, intended to group and protect one or more primary packages. It facilitates labeling, storage, and handling while helping to prevent physical damage or contamination during transportation.
