Abstract

The present invention has an object to provide a drug packaging device including a printing unit configured to perform printing by jetting ink and being capable of performing the printing on a packaging paper with high printing quality without including a support base or the like for the packaging paper. A drug packaging device () includes a drug supply unit (), a packaging unit (), a packaging paper conveying unit (), and a printing unit (). The printing unit () includes an ink ejection unit () capable of ejecting ink downward. A conveyance path (T) of the packaging paper conveying unit () includes: an intersecting-direction conveyance section (T) for conveying a packaging paper (S) in a direction intersecting an ejection direction of the ink; and a first conveyance direction switching section () and a second conveyance direction switching section () for changing the conveyance direction of the packaging paper (S) on upstream and downstream, respectively, of the intersecting-direction conveyance section (T) in a conveyance direction of the packaging paper (S). The ink ejection unit () is arranged at a position spaced apart upward from the intersecting-direction conveyance section (T) by a predetermined distance.
