Frequently Asked Questions about amber UV blocking bags

What are amber UV blocking bags used for?

Amber packaging is designed to protect light-sensitive products—such as medicines, perfumes, and certain chemicals—from the destructive effects of UV light. The packaging safeguards the product from ultraviolet radiation that can degrade it.

How effective are amber bags at blocking UV light?

Amber UV-blocking tote bags will absorb 90% to 99% of UVA and UVB radiation, depending on the material and the thickness of the bag. This will preserve the integrity of light-sensitive material and extend shelf life. 

Are amber UV bags in compliance with FDA or pharmaceutical guidelines?

Most amber bags are made in compliance with FDA and packaging industry standards for healthcare and pharmaceutical products. You should always verify product specs for certification information.

Is the amber packaging single-use or re-usable?

Although some amber bags are designed for one-time use, others may be eligible for reuse based on their material and condition. Careful consideration of wear and contamination is necessary when reusing in a regulated environment.

What are some of the medications that need protection from UV light?

Many drugs that are sensitive to light break down when they are exposed to UV light. Some examples are:

  • Amiodarone
  • Nitroprusside
  • Nifedipine
  • Furosemide
  • Vitamin K (Phytonadione)
  • Epoprostenol
  • Certain chemotherapy drugs
