KNOW WHY THESE GAPS ARE PRESENT IN THE STRIP OF MEDICAL TABLETS !!

Sometimes when you buy a strip of medicine (tablets), you notice of empty slots. Irrespective of the exact shape of the tablet, it can be round, rectangle, oval; every strip is packaged in this typical design-geometry.We will understand the reason behind the empty slots in this article.

Reason 1:

To keep up the standard size of the packing boxes, the company adds these extra spaces to avoid the extra cost.

Reason 2:

Since these tablets are small in size, but the minimum information required to be given on them is quite a lot, so the overall size of packaging is generally large so as to accommodate all relevant information.

Reason 3:

These extra empty spaces help to avoid breakage and spilling of medicines during transportation. This is one of the most important reasons why these empty spaces are there.

Reason 4:

This is a tricky one where our mind would get fooled by the packing. Extra spaciousness gives a feel that the tablet is worth the cost. But the actual fact is that it does not cost even an extra penny for the special packing!

Reason 5:

Empty space left is to increase the inertness of the tablet by pumping vacuum or inert gases inside the empty space. If air is present inside the empty space, then the tablets might get oxidized resulting in poor performance of the medicine.

Hope,this article might have helped you to understand the logic behiend those empty space.
