FDA Drug Master Files for Packaging Materials: What They Cover

A Drug Master File is a submission to the FDA that holds confidential information about a material or component. Packaging suppliers use it to support customer filings without disclosing proprietary detail.

What it typically holds

  • Material composition and manufacturing information
  • Quality control and testing approach
  • Supporting data for the material's intended use

How customers use it

  • Reference the file in their own submission
  • An authorisation letter allows the agency to review the file
  • The file supports, but does not replace, the customer's own data
