*Definition: Vaccine packaging is the process of securely packaging vaccines and medicines so that they keep their therapeutic potency from the time they are packaged. Vaccine packaging comprises vials, ampoules, prefilled syringes, and bags & pouches, which is the initial level of packaging. The vaccine is bottled in glass vials and suitably packaged for safe cold storage and transportation when it is manufactured in bulk quantities. Vaccine packaging must be capable of sustaining high temperatures as well as the risks associated with international distribution. As a result, the most frequent material used to make vaccine vials is glass, which is both resilient and capable of maintaining its integrity in severe temperatures
