Abstract:
There are several disadvantages on the packaging of Chinese herbal medicine, such as unified packaging specification, misused packaging material and uncompleted or no packaging label information. These problems usually result in low quality of medicine, and will bring negative effects on the industry in the long term. Moreover, packaging design is usually too ordinary, without any regional features. Improving the packaging quality and changing the packaging style do not only make Chinese herbal medicine become “safe medicine” or “environmental-friendly medicine”, but also an important measure to raise the competitive power of Chinese herbal medicine in markets at home and abroad.
