The team at phs Teacrate has years of experience in supporting the pharmaceutical industry. By providing secure pharmaceutical distribution crates, we ensure vital healthcare products get where they need to be quickly and safely.
Read on to find out why it’s essential to select the right medical storage boxes to distribute your pharmaceuticals, and how partnering with our experts can help you feel confident knowing that your items are being transported safely, securely, and in line with healthcare guidelines.
Why is secure storage and transportation so important in the pharmaceutical sector?
The main reason transporting pharmaceuticals securely is so vital is to safeguard public health. Distributing medication to hospitals, pharmacies, and other healthcare facilities is essential for allowing patients to access the treatment they need.
Secure storage reduces the risk of tampering or damage, so that the medicine itself isn’t compromised. Suitable medical storage boxes can also prevent criminal activity, ensuring the products within can’t be stolen or swapped out for counterfeits.
Understandably, pharmaceuticals are subject to stringent regulations, and organisations transporting medical goods must adhere to Good Distribution Practice (GDP). These guidelines require you to:
● Ensure goods are transported in robust protective boxes.
● Make sure temperature-sensitive products are stored and transported suitably.
● Ensure risk management and contingency plans are in place.
● Accurately record and document items and their destinations.
What are the most secure medical storage boxes?
Choosing the right containers is a big part of protecting pharmaceuticals in transit. They must be:
● Rigid and robust to protect against moisture, bacteria, and contaminants.
● Tamper-proof to reduce the risk of theft, damage, and counterfeits.
● Traceable, using barcodes or similar labelling.
Why are lidded removal crates from phs Teacrate ideal for transporting pharmaceuticals?
We recognise that finding suitable medical storage boxes is the key to transporting pharmaceuticals safely and in line with GDP. Our Returnable Transit Packaging (RTP) crates are the ideal solution.
Available in various sizes, our lidded removal crates are a gold-standard choice in pharmaceuticals and healthcare transportation.
Our pharmaceutical distribution crates:
● Are made from durable plastic to keep goods protected from bumps during transport and resist moisture and corrosion. They are stronger and more reliable than cardboard boxes.
● Feature attached lids for added shielding and easy stacking.
● Include a sloping lid surface, complete with moisture dams and hinge drains to keep moisture out.
● Are equipped with tamper-evident numbered security seals so interference at any point in the supply chain can be spotted quickly. Find out why tamper-resistant containers are a must when moving medical goods.
● Are easily traceable using barcode labelling so you can track the goods at all stages throughout the distribution journey. Location information is available in real time to prevent loss, theft, and delivery delays.
● Go through our rigorous crate-washing service and swab-testing to ensure that every piece of RTP is thoroughly cleaned and free from bacteria. Learn more about what goes on behind the scenes of our crate washing process.
● Can be reused after crate washing, providing a sustainable solution.
