中药材包装问题及改进对策

Improvement Strategies for Chinese Herbal Medicine Packaging

在我国现行的中药材流通体制下,主要存在中药材包装形式单一、地域特色不明显,包装方式及规格不统一,包装材料来源混乱、包装标识信息缺乏及无包装等现象,造成中药材质量难以保证的严重问题,给消费者安全用药和中医药行业的可持续发展带来很大的负面影响。改进和完善中药材包装不仅是让我国中药材真正成为让消费者放心的"安全药""绿色药",而且是增强我国中药材在国内外市场上竞争力的重要手段。

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.
