• Ampoules &#; Similar to vials, ampoules are smaller glass containers (sometimes plastic) used for packaging liquids.
• Blister packaging &#; A thermoformed plastic with cavities for tablets or capsules, sealed on the open side with plastic or aluminium foil.
• Strip package &#; Formed around the tablet or capsule, each content is protected individually for an increased shelf life. An alternative form of blister packaging.

The type of primary packaging used all depends on the form and chemical composition of your product. Capsules and tablets are often secured in blister and strip packages, while liquids are usually placed in vials or ampoules.
