Pharmacy Bags & Medical Dispensing Bags

Dispensing bags for community pharmacies, hospital pharmacies, dispensing GP practices and clinical supply teams. Paper and polythene formats, plain or printed, in the sizes a busy dispensary works through every day.

Where medication must not be opened before it reaches the patient, tamper evident medical bags add a permanent VOID seal to the same dispensing workflow.

Dispensing Bag Formats

Paper dispensing bags

Traditional white and kraft pharmacy bags in small, medium and large sizes for over-the-counter and prescription dispensing.

Polythene dispensing bags

Clear or opaque plastic dispensing bags with self-seal or grip-seal closures, suited to liquids and bulkier items.

Tamper evident medical bags

Permanently sealed bags with a VOID closure for controlled drugs, clinical trial supplies and items that must not be opened before the patient receives them.

Patient sample bags

Specimen and pathology bags with a separate document pouch, keeping the request form dry and readable alongside the sample.

Tamper Evident Bags for Controlled Drugs & Specimens

Controlled drugs, clinical trial supplies and pathology specimens travel through several pairs of hands between the dispensary and the patient or laboratory. A tamper evident bag closes once, permanently, and shows a VOID pattern the moment anyone attempts to reopen it.

Serial numbering and writable panels allow each bag to be logged against a dispensing or sample record, using the same chain-of-custody principles as our evidence bags and tamper evident security bags.

Pharmacy Bag FAQ

What are pharmacy bags?

Pharmacy bags are dispensing bags used to hand medicines to patients. They are printed with the space a pharmacy needs for patient labels, dosage information and warning text, and come in paper or polythene depending on the item being dispensed.

What sizes do dispensing bags come in?

Dispensing bags are typically supplied in small, medium and large formats to cover single boxes through to multi-item prescriptions and bottled liquids. Bespoke sizes can be manufactured for specific dispensing systems.

Do you supply tamper evident pharmacy bags?

Yes. Tamper evident medical bags use a permanent VOID seal so any attempt to open the bag is visible. These are used for controlled drugs, clinical trial medication and secure ward-to-ward transfers.

Can pharmacy bags be printed with our branding?

Yes. Dispensing bags can be custom printed with pharmacy names, logos, NHS or dispensing information, warning panels and label positioning to suit your dispensing labels.

Do you supply pharmacy bags in bulk?

Yes. Pharmacy bags, dispensing bags and sample bags are supplied wholesale in boxed and pallet quantities, with bulk pricing for pharmacy groups, hospitals and dispensing chains.
