issue with some BFS resin. Therefore, in some applications, secondary packaging methods (laminate pouches) are used. Advantages BFS allows many different container designs, a consistent high process quality, a high process output, and is, compared against other packaging processes, inexpensive. In addition to that, BFS containers are lighter than glass containers, and shatterproof, which eases their transport. Due to the single-dose nature of BFS containers, they are more convenient to use for patients. BFS technology assures high levels of sterility, especially compared against conventional filling, which is mainly achieved by the absence of human contact/interventions – a major source of contamination.
