4. FDA regulations
The main use for packaging is protection of the goods inside, but packaging
also provides us with a recognisable logo, or packaging, we instantly know
what the goods are inside
Barrier Protection - A barrier from oxygen, water vapor, dust, etc., is often
required. Package permeability is a critical factor in design. Some packages
contain desiccants or Oxygen absorbers to help extend shelf life. Modified
atmospheres or controlled atmospheres are also maintained in some food
packages. Keeping the contents clean, fresh, and safe for the intended shelf
life is a primary function.
Security - Packaging can play an important role in reducing the security risks
of shipment. Packages can be made with improved tamper resistance to
deter tampering and also can have tamper-evident features to help indicate
tampering. Packages can be engineered to help reduce the risks of package
pilferage: Some package constructions are more resistant to pilferage and
some have pilfer indicating seals. Packages may include authentication seals
to help indicate that the package and contents are not counterfeit. Packages
also can include anti-theft devices, such as dye-packs,or electronic article
surveillance tags, that can be activated or detected by devices at exit points
and require specialized tools to deactivate. Using packaging in this way is a
means of loss prevention.
Disposal – Incineration, and placement in a sanitary landfill are needed for some
materials. Material content should be checked for potential hazards to emissions
and ash from incineration and leachate from landfill.Packages should not be littered.

and mode of safe disposal so as to maximise product performance and minimise
wastage.
• There shall not be any obnoxious odour in laminates and products thereof.
1.glass containers
2.plastic containers
now-a-days plastic containers are more use in syrup bottle preparation.the
selection of package therefore begins with determination of product’s physical &
chemical characteristics,its protective needs and marketing requirements.
It is essentialy chemically inert, impermeable, strong & rigid & has FDA
clearance.
It is not deteriorate with age & with proper closure system,it provides an
excellent barrier against practically every element except light.
Colored Glass, especially amber, can give protection against light when it is
required.
Major disadvantages of glass as a packaging material are its fragility and its
weight.
Composition of Glass-
Lead in small traces gives clarity and brilliance, but produces a relatively soft
grade of glass.
The USP and NF describe the various types of glass and provide the powered
glass and water attack tests for evaluating the chemical resistance of glass.
