Selecting the appropriate primary packaging system is essential for maintaining the quality, safety, and stability of drug products. Key considerations include chemical compatibility and dimensional fit, which are crucial for effective fill-finish processing.

Early risk mapping and careful component selection can help prevent delays in drug development, which is vital for market success.
