Talk:Pharmaceutical packaging

Fix name please
I noticed that this page's name is wrong per what it is supposed to be about, I would love to add fresh new content to this page but would like the name to be fixed, instead of being "Phamaceutical packaging" i believe it should be "Pharmaceutical packaging" --Cayden Ryan (talk) 20:59, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

More sources
These sources were listed as further reading. I am removing them from the article and posting them here because they are offline and hard to access, older and perhaps not worth accessing, and because the titles do not suggest that they are the best general-information sources to list for Wikipedia's audience. Anyone might add some of these back but someone should comment that they have thoughtfully chosen the ones among these that are better than other available sources.

Merged content from prescription bottle into this article
I just moved some content around.

I thought that prescription bottle should be merged here. The current name of this article is "pharmaceutical packaging". A bottle is a sort of packaging, and as both of these articles needed references and had problem templates, I thought to merge them together. In March 2017 the article ClearRx was merged to "prescription bottle". I forked that article back out to its own article, because I thought it was WP:UNDUE to include in a general discussion of pharmaceutical packaging.

I am not expecting any of this to be controversial.  Blue Rasberry  (talk)  15:54, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Focus of this article
I just renamed this article from "pharmaceutical packaging" to "drug packaging". I thought it was better to use the shorter, more common word for this. Also I wanted to guide the article into a consumer focus, and make it more about consumer drug packaging than packaging for shipping drugs wholesale or for reasons which do not affect typical users.

The content which I am adding and changes which I am making are for consumer interest.  Blue Rasberry  (talk)  15:58, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
